<p>hi everyone,
I just started ucla and finished my first quarter here, scoring a 3.9GPA and being involved in various activities. I actually am a very social person and have a great resume.
My sat score is 2100 and i scored 800s from math 1 and 2. And I had a gpa of 4.5 out of 5 in my high school, my last two years being both 5.0s. I know there are a lot more factors effecting an admission process, but i just want to hear opinions about this: do you think my freshman gpa is good enough for transferring to Columbia, Wharton and NYU Stern(not an ivy)?? </p>
<p>p.s I am studying business-economics at UCLA.</p>
<p>I do say 3.9 GPA is pretty good if you can keep it up through second quarter… although the rigor of the courses matter. What classes did you take?</p>
<p>SAT Score I say is below average, but still in the ballpark for transferring. Also are you an international student?</p>
<p>Your GPA is fine but I’m not sure how these schools look at Freshman transfers. I would say you need a really great reason why UCLA does not fit and why each of schools you are looking at are a much better fit.</p>
<p>yes I am an international student. I took Calculus2, English Composition and History of Modern Thought. They are tough classes, especially the last one in among the toughest for freshmen. I have my reasons and I will state them in my essays, and I’m planning to retake the SAT1 in case I would score better. Thanks for helping !!</p>
<p>it was not possible to take any econ classes in my first quarter because they did not allow us to take, but this quarter i will be taking an econ class, and i will take another econ class in my spring quarter. I am planning to explain this situation to the schools i will be applying. And I will not apply for any financial aid because I heard that it gets harder to get in like that.</p>
