<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Thanks for checking out the thread.</p>
<p>I am interested in tranferring for my sophomore year from a private LAC in PA. I will be starting my first-year this fall. I come from a small rural town in Pakistan. There is no problem with finances as I would be a non-aid international transfer applicant. I want to transfer out to a co-ed school which is more recognised and popular, internationally. My list currently includes Cornell (ILR), UPENN (Wharton), Carnegie Mellon (HSSL), Columbia and NYU (Stern). I need some safety schools on my list. I want to go to a university not an LAC. I want to major in economics or something business-related. </p>
<p>Could you please suggest some schools that I may consider, keeping the above-mentioned factors in mind?</p>
<p>My high school stats as as follow:</p>
<p>O-Levels (fresh and soph years): straight As
English-96
Maths-97
Economics-97
Accounting-98
Business Studies-97
Pakistan Studies-97
Islamiyat-95
Urdu-91</p>
<p>AS-Levls (junior year): "A" is on 90+
Maths-A
Accounting-A
Economics-A
Business Studies-A</p>
<p>A-Levls (senior yr): Same subjects as AS-Levels 4A<em>s (A</em> is on 90+)</p>
<p>Awards:</p>
<p>Full scholarship from school for both AS and A-levels
4 Academics Awards from school for O-Levels.
World Distinction in Accounting AS-Level 2009 (along with a small cash prize from University of Cambridge International Examinations)
Regional Distinction for scoring the highest overall in AS 2009: Best Across Three and Four AS-Levels.
I got an academic award from my school for both the distinctions.</p>
<p>SAT1-2230 (M790, W800, V640)
SAT2-2370 (M1 800, M2 800, Physics 770)
TOEFL-111</p>
<p>I have never studied natural sciences in my high school but for my physics SAT, I had to study from the scratch. I took it in my senior year.</p>
<p>My Ecs are pretty weak. I belong to a very small rural town in Pakistan. There is nothing much to do outside school</p>
<p>ECs: Writer and Editor for School Magazine (4yrs), Cricket (4yrs), badminton (4yrs), school Prefect (2 years), headgirl runner-up, 2 internships in the xport and finance depts of two of the leading firms of the city, SOS Village volunteer (1yr), Assistant Maths and Econ teacher at school (2yrs), Counsellor for juniors (2 yrs)....several others</p>
<p>I want to go for a Phd in economics or applied economics for grad school.</p>
<p>Regards.</p>
