Transfer to Brown, Georgetown, Columbia?

<p>I'm an out of state freshman at UNC looking to transfer out:</p>

<p>High school GPA: ~3.5 with a rigorous curriculum (primarily APs) in an extremely competitive (top 5 in the nation) boarding school. Last year and a half GPA was ~3.7.</p>

<p>College GPA: ~3.7, but only taking 13 credit hours-- Arabic takes up most of my work time. Next semester I'll be taking 17 credit hours.</p>

<p>Scores: 790 SAT Math, 770 Verbal, 720 Writing, SAT IIs all 700+</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: Solid list of community service and newspaper stuff from high school, interned for U.S. Congress this past summer, here I play rugby (16+ hrs/week), as well as write for the conservative magazine and fund-raise for an Operation Smile type organization-- I travel to India for two weeks every year to assist in operating rooms with this organization.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are to transfer to Brown, Columbia, Georgetown, Dartmouth, (or as a far reach) Stanford?</p>

<p>On a side note, last year I applied to Georgetown SFS and was extended waitlisted then rejected. I am, however, placed on some sort of "priority list for transfer."</p>

<p>dont bother applying to columbia, you'll never get in. </p>

<p>haha actually i'm just trying to get rid of the competition.</p>

<p>but really, save the application fee...</p>

<p>i believe dartmouth and georgetown take in the most transfers</p>

<p>Nah, he has a shot at all those schools. </p>

<p>In at Georgetown, but no guarantees at Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, and Stanford. It is worth a try, and don't sweat it if you're rejected from every school but Georgetown. There many, many students here who turned down those schools for the SFS, and for good reason.</p>

<p>Good luck:)</p>

<p>Georgetown accepts very few for the SFS, but your little "priority gig" pretty much grants you a free spot. Dartmouth is also very difficult. You have a shot. Nothing more.</p>

<p>Georgetown-I think you can look forward to M Street next year, if that's what you want.
Dartmouth- maybe (good luck :) You certainly have a decent shot.
Columbia- Reach but doable
Brown & Stanford- Far, far reaches. </p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>forget to mention, high school grades are unweighted out of 4.0</p>
