Transfer Chances

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello,
I would like to know suggestions on where I could transfer.
I am planning on studying economics or business.
SATs : 1480 (old)
HS GPA: 2.7 (low i know :( )
College GPA: 4.0
I have tested out of the language requirements for all colleges with an SAT II in french above 660.
I have met the business requirement of micro and macro econ with a score of 6 in the IB examination.
I've just finished my first semester with courses in chem, cal, writing seminar (requirement for transfer also), philosophy, and sociology.
I'm also going to have fulfilled the accounting courses requirement next summer due to it not being offered at my current institution.</p>

<p>ECs:
Ski and Snowboard club
3 varsity sports in high school
1 varsity sport in college
Red Cross volunteer
official for interamurals
finance/investment club
Business freshman interest group
and I do pilates lol :P probably won't mention that though</p>

<p>I've got pretty powerful reasons for transfering which will help in the essay. </p>

<p>So where would I have a shot? Because I'd like to know whether it would be best to transfer immediately (preferable) or perhaps wait another year and aim higher for the transfer.</p>

<p>Thanks a million.</p>

<p>How many credits do you currently have? That plays a big part...</p>

3

<p>I have 17 credits and will have the same amount for this spring semester. so a total of 34 from college plus the 6 credits from the ib exam plus 6 credits from the summer accounting courses</p>

<p>I'd have a grand total of 46 enrolling in fall</p>

<p>bump, so.... do I have a shot at a place like UNC? Stern? UVa?</p>

<p>Oh by the way I'm an international from south america so I guess that helps if there's a diversity essay?</p>

<p>I wouldn't count on a 660 in French getting you out of all language requirements. I got a 670 and still had to take it. </p>

<p>I don't know about your chances. Your college upswing may look good even after the 2.7, so I'd give it a shot.</p>

<p>At least at UVa I saw that it got me exempt. I guess I'll give those three a try plus michigan for arts and sciences. Worst case scenario i'll wait another year and try to do a semester abroad and add that to my resume :)</p>

<p>Give CMU (Tepper) a try. They mention on their website that college performance can make up for a not so good high school career.</p>
