Transfer students criteria! (freshman) from NEU

<p>Okay I just rejected from my dream schools like Tufts and Brown.
I got accepted to Northeastern, and I am dying to transfer to those schools. (Although I do hope I have a good time there, but I hope I have a better future in those better ones)...</p>

<p>If I want to apply for freshman transfer, will ivies look down on schools like NEU? Like will they look at the national ranking and decide whether they will admit you? I heard people from Boston U got transferred to Harvard, but BU is way better than NEU...
1) I want to know if such ranking will affect the transfer decisions??!</p>

<p>Also, if I am going to be a freshman transfer, most likely they will look at your high school record right? (senior final term). What if I did really poorly on those... Or will they weigh more heavily on your freshman year first semester's grades? Okay, 2) but what if I got a 4.0 GPA in freshman year, will that make a DIFFERENCE? And my poor high school record will pale into significance?</p>

<p>Thirdly, I am retaking the SAT I and II!! Again, what if I got 2400 and all 800 in subjects, 3) will that make up a BAD high school score?</p>

<p>The thing is, I have excellent extra-curricula in high school, just my grades are really bad... And since the college curriculum may be hard to adapt to, I'm scared I am not able to handle the college workload. I wish I could use my SAT score coz this will be more easier to achieve as it is after all high school stuff. Please tell me if all those things, if I did well, could make up a bad high school grade... And if going to Northeastern will deny my any acceptances to ivies/good schools coz of its ranking?</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Your academics as a transfer are based on several factors, including gpa, rigor of classes and the college you attend.</p>

<p>When applying as a soph transfer, your HS record (gpa and rigor of coursework) and standardized tests will be weighted more heavily than the 1 semester of college classes you will have completed when you apply.</p>

<p>As I said in your other thread, once in college, Subject tests are supplanted by college classes.</p>
