Hi, I am currently a freshmen at Buffalo State. It is one of the shittier SUNYs. I quickly realized I hate it here and am exploring my chances at transferring. I am looking to transfer to Fordham, SUNY Binghamton, and SUNY Stony Brook. I am majoring in economics and psychology, but on all of my apps listed economics as my intended major.
My high school GPA unweighted was a 3.3, weight 4.0.
SAT 1750.
I took 3 APs, World, US, and Gov, getting a 3, 4, and 5 respectively.
While at Buffalo State I got into the honors program. I am taking mostly intro classes: Psych 101, Intro to Macro, Intro to Micro. Then two honors classes unique to the school: honors 100 (intro seminar class) and The Seven Summits of the World. 15 credits total.
I have gotten an A in everything so far and with it about rapping up I feel pretty confident i’ll maintain it.
As far as activities go I listed running a YouTube channel, 100k subscribers, I wasn’t really sure this was relevant but figured it couldn’t hurt.
I was an executive in a program my high school offered where we create a virtual business and compete against others.
I listed myself as a self-employed stock/options swing trader. I’ve been doing this for about 4 years.
Everything else was more generic: varsity wrestling, economics club, volunteering on a senators campaign, and playing rugby.
I had some mediocre teacher recommendations, nothing incredible just some of my senior year business teachers.
So do my odds look good? Everything I’ve read says my chances will be much better come fall semester and if comes down to it I’ll stay, I’ve just been miserable here and am looking to get out.
On a side note I have about 33 credits from taking classes in High School and then purchasing credits from local colleges. This isn’t reflected anywhere on my application or at my current college (was waiting to transfer them till after I switch schools), could these have any substantial impact on my chances?
