Hi, sorry I’m really new to this site so bear with me.
I’m a female currently at a college on the top 100 national universities list (according to US News), but I am trying to transfer this fall.
My college stats:
Major: Mathematics
GPA: 3.91
Major GPA: 3.90 (hand calculated)
Research: I’ve been a research assistant for two years (since freshman year) for research in Learning Technologies and Mathematics Education (applying to REUs this summer)
Awards/Accomplishments: gave a talk at the PCUMC (Pacific Coast Undergraduate Mathematics Conference), Pi Mu Epsilon math honor society, $28000 academic scholarship recipient, $14000 music scholarship, $2000 Natural science division scholarship, $2000 faculty/staff scholarship, Deans list
Misc: Violin 9 years, Piano 12 years, I work as a math tutor for the department at my school, grader for Calculus III next semester, I do research during the school year (so I had 2 jobs at once last semester, will have 3 jobs at once spring semester), I have spent the last summer and this winter break working at a restaurant because my mother has been unemployed for a year and a half. Father is out of the picture.
My high school stats:
unweighted GPA: 3.94
weighted GPA: 4.74
SAT 800 math, 780 writing, 740 reading (2320 superscore)

ECs: All State Orchestra 4 years (principle 2nd violin), Finalist for all state competition for piano, Cheerleading 4 years (co captain one year, captain one year), Key club 4 years, church (total service hours 200+), prize money recipient for state math contest (two years), National merit commended, internship at chiropractic clinic (I used to be a biology major)
I know there are much better candidates out there, but I just wanted to see realistically where I can get in.
I am applying to:
UChicago
USC
Caltech
Rice
Dartmouth
Cornell
Brown
UPenn
Stanford
Columbia
I also know Stanford, Columbia, and Caltech are long shots but I am putting in an application anyway.
Thanks for the help!
