Transfer Options

<p>I am currently a senior in High School.
I had health issues in 9th and 10th grade, and my grades were dismal (Think below 80). However, after getting better and transferring into a new school and environment I started to do much better. I got a 3.8 in 11th Grade, and I will be getting a 4.0 this year.
Because of my messed up transcript, what I decided to do is go to a CUNY (New York City Public 4 Year College) for a year, get a 4.0 and then transfer.
I took the SAT once and got 650 in Reading, 600 in Math, and 630 in Writing (a 12 on the Essay) (I will take them again, keep in mind i didn't study). I got a 4 in AP English Lang., a 5 in AP PoliSci, and am taking 4 APs this year and hope to get 4s or 5s in all. I have a very extensive list of ECs. I was on Mock Trial, I write for a few different school publications, I was in the law institute, I worked for a presidential campaign, I run a small computer company with a friend of mine, etc. I want to major in Politics and Economics.</p>

<p>I have a list of schools that I am considering/hoping to transfer into. I would like to know what my chances are, if I should bother, what SAT score I need, and if there is anything I can do now to make my chances better. And also, with my interests out there, if there are any schools you would suggest I look into.</p>

<p>University of Chicago
Cornell Univeristy
Northwestern University
University of Virginia
Washington University
Georgetown University (My 1st Choice)
Johns Hopkins University
Carnegie Mellon University
University of Michigan
Brandeis University
New York University
Boston University</p>

<p>Where is your safety school? Where are your match schools? You have plenty of reaches on the list.</p>

<p>For what you can do now to make your chances better, read the Transfer 101 thread, especially wrt prof recommendations.</p>

<p>I have a slew of recommendations lined up.
As for safety and Match.</p>

<p>If I don't get into any of those schools, ill Stay in CUNY. And BU is pretty much a match school for me.</p>
