<p>Stats:
HS: 3.2 GPA (unweighted) 3.3 (weighted) 31 ACT, pretty good extra-currics</p>
<p>College: 4.0 GPA, through a year and a half, very good extra-currics</p>
<p>Could I transfer into UPenn (the college-not wharton), Columbia, UChicago, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Georgetown? (maybe Cornell, Brown) (Are MIT and Duke too hard? I would love MIT)</p>
<p>My selected major in economics. What's realistic? Where would you guys suggest I apply? Are these good? Thanks so much, it means A LOT to me.</p>
<p>Where are you coming from? Your essays and recommendations will need to be stellar. Great GPA.</p>
<p>Michigan State University. I’m pretty sure I’ll have good teacher recs and essays, but I don’t wanna say anything about those for sure, and just yet.</p>
<p>I would add Northwestern, Rice, and Emory. These tend to be transfer friendly (as is georgetown).</p>
<p>I did add Northwestern, and I have been considering Emory for a while, I almost put that on. Chances? Is this a good list? I’d like to know what’s realistic, where I should attempt to transfer to.</p>
<p>I’m from Chicago, and don’t particularly like Northwestern too much. I also realize they have a great economics program and that the school is highly received in the business world.</p>
<p>But what about a Cornell or Brown?</p>
<p>Cornell you have a shot, my guess is that Brown will be very tough. They’ve been very selective the last couple of years for transfers.</p>
<p>Does your high school GPA come into picture in transfer admissions?</p>
<p>Yeah it matters, particularly for those transferring after first year. The SAT matters more, however. If you have a weak high school record I would recommend great college GPA and retaking the SAT/ ACT.</p>
<p>SAT/ACT matters MORE than HS GPA in a transfer?</p>
<p>SampsonClark, I’m kinda in a similar situation as you, and some of the schools on our prospective school lists are the same.</p>
<p>Would you guys say UPenn, Columbia, University of Chicago, and Dartmouth are possible? I’m applying to Penn’s CAS too (philosophy major).</p>
<p>I’m eager for information.</p>
