Transfer to prestigious schools

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I’m an international student from Korea, attending a parochial school in PA.</p>

<p>As I got rejected from most colleges to which I applied and ended up going to 4-year public school, I’m seriously considering transferring to another institution (probably in my sophomore year).</p>

<p>Here are some questions for transfer process:

  1. I took 6 AP exams this year, but I don’t think I did well on those exams (as I slacked off a little bit). Will the Admissions Officers request or require the official AP scores? They require Standardized Test Scores, but they don’t say anything about AP scores. I just want them to see my HS transcripts because I have good grades in AP classes.</p>

<li>What should I do for this summer to improve my application? I will be in Korea for this whole summer. Since I live in suburban area, I couldn’t find any internship opportunities. </li>
</ol>

<p>Here are some of my HS stats:
2060 on SAT (600CR, 790M, 670W) - I took it 3 times and these are the best combined scores.
SAT II: 800 Chem, 800 Math IIC, 730 Bio M, 640 Bio E
Rank: 3/186</p>

<p>I have more stats to give you and more questions to ask. I would really appreciate any advice or information. Those who are interested in helping me, please feel free to PM me.</p>

<p>By the way, I am looking at schools like MIT, Stanford, Yale, and Chicago. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
