<p>I am going to UTexas at Austin next year and am contemplating transferring after the spring semester (The end of my freshman year). I was looking at transferring to Harvard, Rice, or Vanderbilt and I had a couple of questions:</p>
<li><p>What do i need to do academically/extracurricularly in college (CGPA, XC’s) to have a good shot at these schools?</p></li>
<li><p>Do I need to retake my SAT I? (I have, right now, a 2080 composite score)</p></li>
<li><p>Do any of those schools give merit aid for transfers??</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks a lot.</p>
