Transfer to UMich(Ross), NYU(Stern) from out of school

Transfer Students
1

<p>Well, after a lot of soul searching I've decided that an undergrad business program is what I want and along with other factors, its important enough for me to apply to transfer. I've set my hopes on the big 3 undergrad business programs, UMich (Ross), NYU (Stern), and UPenn (Wharton). I realize that Wharton is near-impossible so I'm not pinning any hopes on it, but I'd be extremely satifisifed with either Ross or Stern (providing NYU isn't too stingy with finaid). I've got almost a year before I apply, but I was just curious as to whether anyone knows the chances of someone getting into either of those programs as an outside transfer (I'll have all requirements for transfer completed, provided UMich approves my school's accounting courses). It'd also be great if you could evaluate my stats and see if I'm in the general range of a student they would accept (assuming my GPA stays around its current level). I don't expect anyone to have real admissions statistics or anything, but any advice you could provide would be great. Thanks for any help</p>

<p>Entering Sophomore year at Johns Hopkins University this Fall
Cumulative GPA: 3.83, Major: Economics
SAT: 1470 (730v,690m), SAT II Writing: 730
High School GPA: 3.5UW,3.8W, Top 20% of Class (maybe top 10% after grad)
College EC's: Treasurer for Pakistani Student's Association
High School EC's: President of Young Politician's Club, Vice President of Computer Club
Summer Plans: Still trying to find an internship in finance this summer, nothing came up through the pre-established programs (do any Freshman make it?), but I'm trying to contact people at respected companies with branches in the area to see if something comes up. If nothing comes up in the next several weeks I will take a bank teller position.</p>

<p>Thanks again for taking a look.</p>

<p>if you say your stats aren't good enough for Wharton, then please tell me what is. People make it seem like you either have to start up your own multi-million dollar corporation, be a senator's adviser, or find a way to hover in order to get into this school.</p>

<p>I think you have a great chance for Ross and Stern, but your lack of EC's in college might hurt you (especially for Wharton). Your JHU GPA is great, but if you can beef up your EC's, then I'd say your chances will improve even more. I'd also consider applying to some ivies and just majoring in econ.</p>
