Transfer to Columbia: Need your opinion

<p>Hi guys,
I will apply for transfer as an incoming junior.</p>

<p>(Mostly Ivies.)</p>

<ul>
<li><p>College Info. -
Current univ.: top five state university
GPA: 4.0 / 4.0 unweighted (Dean't list)</p></li>
<li><p>HS Info. -
GPA: 3.95 / 4.0 unweighted (Rank 1 / 216)</p></li>
<li><p>Official Test score -
SAT1: 2030 (CR: 620 / Math: 770 / WR: 640)
SAT2: Math2c (800) / Chem (710)
TOEFL: iBT 108 (R:27 L:27 S:26 W:28)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>US/Int'l: International</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Recommendations -
1) math professor (excellent)
2) PS prof. (not sure, but assuming very good)
3) Geology prof. (same with above)</p></li>
<li><p>Hook (?) -
military experience
internships at major consulting firms
several academic/non-academic activities in college and held leadership positions
but I won't enumerate them cuz I don't think they will differentiate from other applicants</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Questions
1) I am so worrying about the SAT 1 score. Even though I heard that the SAT 1 is not significantly considered into admission process compared to GPA and etc, since I know the admission process is holistic one, I am just so confusing. I can't retake the SAT 1. </p>

<p>2) Chance me please?</p>

<p>*I know the transfer admission for colleges in the list is extremely competitive.</p>

<p>Did you take a break for military service? You might look at Columbia’s School of General Studies, where you could be an excellent fit. Be sure to call and talk to someone in Columbia College or GS admissions to see which is the right place for you.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
