Transferring out of SUNY Binghamton and into Villanova, Lehigh or NYU Stern

<p>Hi, My name is Danny and I'm currently as a freshman at SUNY Binghamton. I'm looking to transfer out and into a private school. The schools I'm looking at are Villanova (I was accepted here but decided not to go), Lehigh(Wait listed first time around), and NYU Stern(Denied). I'm currently in the engineering program here, but am finding it too easy. I'm on the track for a 3.8-4.0 here, and feel I could do about this well in a significantly harder school. I'm just wondering if any transfer VN, Lehigh, or NYU students have any advice on what they think helped them get in. Thanks!</p>

<p>Side note- here are some stats:
HS GPA - 3.75
SAT Score (not a super score)- 2080
Math - 710
Reading - 720
