<p>Freshman at Boston Univ., planning to transfer for Sophmore year</p>
<p>All honors courses, very involved and maintained a great relationship with my professors.</p>
<p>GPA:4.0
SAT:800 M 660 CR 740 W
SAT Subject Tests: US History-740 Math 1C-800
HS GPA-3.4 UW, 8 IB's, did 90+ on every IB exam
Many HS EC's</p>
<p>I am looking mostly into the business programs of Columbia and MIT, I haven't done too much research but would like to know where I stand in terms of getting in.</p>
<p>5% acceptance rate @ columbia last year, 78 out of more than 1,200 applicants. I'd say stay 1 more year with that 4.0 with a strong app and you should be good.</p>
<p>Impressive stats - may as well try now, though it would be foolish to call you competitive at schools that accept < 5% of transfer applicants. If you really enjoy BU enough, just give these schools a shot and you can always apply again next year if you don't get in; if you really want out of BU, you'll need some safeties - a good choice for you might be NYU.</p>
<p>well what exactly prevents me from being considered competitive? HS GPA? SAT?</p>
<p>HS GPA. The fact that you've only been at your current college for one year. But I also just noticed this:</p>

<p>You know there isn't an ugrad business program at these schools.</p>
<p>sloan has one</p>
<p>I stand corrected; I don't think Columbia has anything other than Econ though.</p>
