<p>I'm currently a first semester freshman, and last year I went 4 for 8 in college acceptances(slacked off in High school) didn't get into any of the schools I really wanted.</p>

<p>So I decided to go to Baruch College a CUNY school.
I gave the school a shot but, it feels like I'm missing out on the college experience, because it is a commuter school with little to no college life. </p>

<p>I'm not very happy here, but I have pulled off very good first semester grades (3.94)
I planning to transfer to a better school academically, and one that would offer a traditional college experience. </p>

<p>MY stats in high school were pretty bad in part due to my own negligence and the tough grading at my school.
I graduated with an 80 average (3.0?) -pretty reputable top public high school in NYC
1350/1970 sats 720 bio-e, and 650 math II.
Ap's got a 3 in bio and a 5 in micro economics
Some of my major ec's: research internship at a medical school (suny downstate),
Varsity Tennis 4 years, Young entrepreneurship association </p>

<p>In college so far i have gotten all a's with the exception of one a-
totaling a 3.94 over 16 credits
Calculus-A
English Composition- A-
Principles of Music-A
Political Science- A
History-A
I am on the varsity tennis team at my current college although it is only DIII
and a few minor roles in clubs nothing special</p>

<p>So my question for you experts on cc is this, what are my prospects looking like transfer next semester for Sophmore standing at the following schools, </p>

<p>UNC-CH (oos)
UVA (oos)
Georgetown (mcdonough)
Cornell (ILR school)
Hamilton (legacy)
Vanderbilt
U Michigan (oos-lsa school)
Emory and Oxford Emory ( due date in june so should have another semester of good grades by then)
Binghamton (wait listed last year) </p>

<p>I know my prospects aren't that good because i will only have one semester under my belt
Also How much will a very good midterm report help me?</p>

<p>I can’t provide you with any feedback about transferring to any of those schools, but I would recommend you to finish your freshman year in the very least. Most schools don’t consider freshman students anyway and require a minimum number of credits but these vary according to school. You should check each of their websites and find out. Also, not everything in an application process that counts has to be big-name credentials so having a clear idea of what you want to do, why you want to do and how your current school is failing to provide it is an important thing to consider for when you are applying.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Thanks anomolous, that was helpful, in that I should have a sense of direction on my application.
I checked with the websites for their transfer policies and it seems they do take transfers for sophomore status.</p>
