<p>My first year I was pre-med and during the summer I got accepted into a 6-week rigorous summer medical education program. I don't know if this will hurt me because I changed to political science and economics, which I'm completely in love with. Pre-law now. </p>

<p>I'm applying to transfer for the fall of '12 to:
Cornell
Brown
Tufts
Emory
Vanderbilt

<p>Im saying this not to be a dick but because you have a good shot at other schools, lower your expectations. Stay at Arkansas another year and keep up the gpa or apply to another school. Sorry bud but the schools you applied to are just too competitive for your gpa.</p>

<p>^^ I also agree.
Judging from how bad your grades/scores are, I highly doubt any Ivy Leagues are going to accept you.
Even good non-Ivy schools, like Emory, are not likely to accept a transfer student like you.
Keep your grades up and just graduate from UA.</p>
