<p>List of schools:</p>
<p>1) Brown ( Went here for two separate summer sessions when I was 13 and 15, its my dream school will definitely coax my future recommendation writers about how badly I need to be on Thayer St. divulging Kunderas literature while simultaneously having raspberry bubble tea from Tealuxe [ I want to keep going but I will refrain]).
2) UPenn
3) Swarthmore
4) Vanderbilt
5) Columbia
6) to 8) will be matches (not the kind you light) and safeties. </p>
<p>Thank you very much! I hope you guys can be as honest as possible!</p>
<p>BUMP! 51 views and no answer(s)! I’ll chance back ASAP!</p>
<p>I’d say you’re a competitive applicant, but the fact that the Ivy League is so hard to transfer into due to their retention rate makes it tough. </p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, why don’t you like NYU? I’d give anything to be there.</p>
<p>I think nyu has helped me in many invaluable ways, however I feel as though the class sizes are too large and the student body itself is very inconsistent. I mean how are several admissions officers supposed to pick 5000 quality undergraduates? </p>
<p>Also, the school itself is not socioeconomically diverse as advertised. Most kids have a lot of money, and I come from a family that doesn’t financially support me. I’ve moved around a lot in my childhood, my family has had humble beginnings coming to this country but I’m proud of it. </p>
<p>Another reason is that I have a disliking to the stern school of bankruptcy. The kids there need to learn something about humility, they look down at other colleges in nyu big time as well. This is to say there is no school spirit. I gotta get out</p>
<p>Also brown specifically offers a COE concentration and the program itself would be so perfect combined with the international internships they hook you up with, it’s unreal. </p>
<p>I went to brown for two separate summer sessions when I was 13 and 15 years old. I never wanted to leave. It’s weird though, in high school I never felt smart enough. Somehow I worked my butt off in college and something somewhere clicked. I wanna see what brown thinks of me this time, it’s been too long, I have an incomplete education there.</p>
<p>I don’t know that I’m qualified to answer any questions about transfer applicants, but your college GPA seems excellent, and you should be well qualified! Also, I think about 10% of transfer applicants to Brown get in, so you’re looking at the same chances as if you went to Brown beforehand! Best of luck =)</p>
<p>Your high college GPA makes you an ideal candidate. YOU GOT THIS.</p>
<p>I think your college GPA and a little higher ACT give you a very good shot at Brown and Penn. All the other schools on your list are good matches.</p>
<p>I just noticed you’re a Pakistani male. I was born there too!</p>
<p>C53pavelow- Thanks! </p>
<p>samtheman75- Yeah thanks, I’m definitely planning on retaking my ACT! I feel it would give me a small boost! </p>
<p>giantmidget - Yeah I am! I wasn’t born in Pakistan though, both my parents are from Karachi. I was born in New York!</p>
