<p>Hi there, I am an international student hoping to transfer to NYU, Northwestern, Boston or University of Pennsylvania in fall 2015. I am wondering if any of you can tell me that whether I have a chance.</p>
<p>My major: media studies
GPA: 3.7GPA (but I will raise my GPA to 3.8 by this quarter.)
Units: 35 including in-progress courses.</p>
<p>My concern is that I haven't finished English 1A and Math, which both of them are college level. Moreover, I have done just one volunteering. </p>
<p>Any help,answers and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>Of course, everyone has a “chance,” but these universities (and I assume “Boston” refers to either Boston College or Boston University?) are highly selective and they certainly will require excellence in the normal survey-level (principally, freshman and sophomore) college courses, especially in English 1A. Moreover, a 3.7 GPA would be more meaningful if you indicated your class rank. Further, what are your SAT/ACT scores? To summarize, it is impossible to provide a definitive answer – or even a reasonable guess – to your question with the information provided. However, you must consider that literally thousands of applicants – with truly excellent records – are annually denied by institutions of NYU’s, Northwestern’s and Penn’s enduring stature. </p>
