Transfer Chance Me: NYU Stern and Northwestern

Hi all,

Stern and Northwestern are among my top picks. I’m a transfer student. I am aware that apparently not a single transfer was accepted into Stern last year (I’m hoping people were lying on CC…).

College GPA: 4.0 (74 credits, impressive classes, Honors Program, Honor Society, Dean’s List)
H.S GPA: 3.2 (all A’s for last 1.5 years)
ACT: 26 (sent into Northwestern… ugh… I took it in H.S.) (Not sent to NYU)
Letter of recommendation: Very impressive one from the chair of the business department.

Extra-Curriculars:
*Full time manager at one of the Northwest’s highest volume fast food restaurant. Managed 50 employees. Turned the store around, improved profit substantially, etc.
*Board member in a city agency. Help draft the agency’s operating objectives and work with the mayor directly.
*Scholarship officer in honor society
*Personally chosen to sit on my college’s business tenure committee. I help promote instructors.
*Volunteer as group leader at a non-profit helping the mentally disabled
*Volunteer at a local elementary school
*Member of numerous clubs and professional societies

Bio-
White male from Washington State, I suffered from painful OCD/anxiety/depression for the first two years of high school. In eleventh grade, I turned my whole life around for the better, and have received all A’s since then.
