Transfer Students

<p>Dear CC member's, </p>

<p>I am heading to a Tier 4 university in Minnesota. It has always been my dream to attend an elite school for Undergrad engineering. </p>

<p>I plan to transfer after 2 years and my H.S. record is as follows :- </p>

<p>GPA - 3.0-3.1
SAT 1 - 1560 (650 M , 450 CR, 460 CW)
TOEFL - 100/120
E.C.'s - Not Much </p>

<p>My college list so far is :-
1) UPenn
2) Cornell
3) University of Michigan - Ann Arbor
4) Cal - Berkley
5) UCLA
6) University of Illinois
7) University of Minnesota - Twin cities (safety)
8) Yale
9) Stanford
10) Ga Tech
11) Columbia </p>

<p>If there are any other Universities if you people would want to add to this prospective list. Please do so. </p>

<p>My main questions is - What should I be working towards, when I am aiming at such elite schools. Is there a possibility that I CAN get in ? </p>

<p>Also, Can some one let me know which courses should I be taking for Cal ? (I checked assist.org, but that is specific to community colleges) </p>

<p>Any other info would be greatly appreciated. I would be grateful if someoone would help me out. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
