Transfer from Northeastern to IVies? Unique experineces, NEED ADVICES!

<p>I'm very confused and upset , after went thru tons of threads, I feel my chance is very low, but still, I want to transfer out. I'm currently in the BSIB program of Northeastern (International business major in short), and I really don't like the co-op and career orientated atmosphere for I'm a really liberal arts type student. </p>

<p>Basically I got rejected by all IVies I applied as freshman, however, it was because I only learned English for 2 years for I'm an international student, thus I had poor SAT score (around 1800). In the end, I only got into Northeastern and BU.</p>

<p>So, my first semester here in Northeastern was full loaded with business classes such as "Becoming a global manager" -- teach you how to start up a business, "Personal Skill development" -- prepare for work and study abroad, Calculus, Physics, and College Writing 1111 (we have different levels, 1111 is for native speakers), however, my GPA wasn't great because I really hated my classes, I got :</p>

<p>B- for becoming a global manager,
C for Personal skill (1 credit),
A- for Cal,
B+ for Physics (I'm bad at science)
B+ for CW</p>

<p>GPA was 3.19, I know its really poor, therefore I gave up all business classes and choose liberal classes this term: Roman history, French, MacroEcon, and statistic. </p>

<p>As far as I can tell now from my exam scores/Midterms, I can hit for 4.0, since I got all A's on my midterms. In that case, my whole GPA would be 3.598. I understand this is not a solid GPA for IVies, but its mainly because I can't do those pointless business classes in the first term, and I really enjoy my classes this term, therefore I want to major in Econ/European studies in a more liberal arts focus schools. </p>

<p>Besides my poor GPA and SAT, I had extremely outstanding ECs in high school (not sure about college), Very appealing and unique essays:</p>

<p>Tons of recognized leadership experiences, lots of international/national debate awards, national speech champion 3 years in a row, 4.0 GPA in my high school (ranked top in my country), national honors, had my own TV talk show for 12 years with regular audiences, impressive acting/drama experiences (national stage piece, etc.),and I also speak 7 different languages (fluently in German, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, Conversational in Russian, French, Basic Arabic) </p>

<p>(Duke and Columbia basically admitted me before they received my SAT score (wait-listed me without my scores, I sent scores afterwards), Yale write me several emails and ask if I have better scores. I know I had big shot but my poor English experience cut me off with poor SAT. )</p>

<p>I also took a GAP year after high school as an Intern at Merrill Lynch and Germany overseas embassy (in an Asian country), had strong recs from my employers. However I got rejected again because my poor English.</p>

<p>In Northeastern, I found one student club (recognized with around 150 students) as the president, peer elected president for my residential hall, peer tutor, teach languages weekly in a student organization with approximately 50 students, swimming club, Finance and Investment club, Debate Club, Acting Club, and work as an E-board member of another popular club (have to keep the name private)</p>

<p>Now I decide to re-apply, however, I don't know if it worth me to re-apply with a 3.59 GPA and old SAT scores. My plan is hit for Brown, Cornell, Duke, Tufts and several LACs, then transfer from these schools to HYC with a high GPA. Or stay for another year to hit for a high GPA, then transfer as a rising junior. </p>

<p>Is this realistic?? NEEED advicessss!!!! </p>

<p>PLEASE HELP!! dunno what to do!!!</p>

<p>Your written English is very poor. </p>

<p>@entomom college board cancelled my score because of “unexpected” “weird” increase </p>

<p>Why don’t/didn’t you retake the SAT if you are capable of a 2300? Your odds are much higher with that kind of score.</p>

<p>@Hanna I thought SAT doesnt matter anymore, im retaking it now and hope i can manage to transfer as rising junior</p>
