TRANSFERING AS A SOPHOMORE

Chance Me / Match Me!

Because of family issues and serious things that happened throughout high school, I wasn’t the greatest candidate for college. I wish to apply as a sophomore transfer to several schools.

HIGH SCHOOL STATS:
Gpa: 2.8 from a top 50 high school, upward trend last four semesters. Finished my last few with each semester around 98 avg.
Ethnicity: Hispanic/Middle Eastern
Male
ECS: Vars. Lacrosse, Student Gov Chairman, Internship at a big wall st firm, leadership role of a school board, VP of a club, Math Tutor, Published author on a news journal, on the Physics team, and volunteer at homeless shelters.
ACT: 30
5 on the AP Macro exam.

I’ll be finishing off my freshman year at CUNY Baruch with around a 3.95 gpa.
ECS: Finance and economics clubs as well as a business role at a job for a top 10 corporation.

Should I retake my tests?
What are my chances to transfer to these schools and how could i best improve my app:
Villanova (business), Upenn–wharton, georgetown, nyu–stern, vanderbilt, mich, or even hypscm

What about SUNY schools, where you should get instate tuition as a NY resident? Are finances an issue? The schools you list are not known for generous transfer merit aid.

“What about SUNY schools,”

Assuming that you are from NY state, this is exactly what I was thinking also.

At this point, unless it’s mich or unc I really don’t think I’d like to transfer to a public school. Finances shouldn’t be an issue.
