<p>Well you have more then 30 credits, which will put a little less emphasis on your high school record, but you might have to submit you SAT score to all three. EC's are good not amazing. Right know you best bet is NYU. Brown is out of reach for you because of your SAT score and i think you need to take SAT II in high school if wanted to apply to Brown. Regardless Brown will want to see those SAT II scores if required transfer or not. I think you are ok for Georgetown which requires 3.1 or up. Good luck</p>

<p>NYU (match)
Georgetown (match)
Brown (low match)</p>

<p>nyu - match
georgetown - reach
brown - far reach</p>

<p>"NYU (match)
Georgetown (match)
Brown (low match)"</p>

<p>You're joking right? Brown a low match for someone from Syracuse with a 3.79? I hope the OP can realize that that is a horrible thing to call Brown. And Georgetown is not really a match either. Here's an idea if it'll help.</p>

<p>Brown - 20% acceptance rate...until last year when it was like 8%.
Georgetown - 28%
NYU - 30%</p>

<p>All of these schools are somewhat competitive, and Brown is super-competitive (or if it goes back to 20% which I'm hoping it will, we'll be ok).</p>

<p>I'd call NYU a match, Georgetown a high match/low reach, and Brown a reach.</p>

<p>Georgetown a high match/low reach, and Brown a reach. Are YOU JOKING placing Georgetown over Brown. Why? Because this person is from Syracuse, NY which is closer to Brown. If that the way you think that admission to ivy league schools work think again. If that were true I should be going to Princeton because i am from Jersey.</p>

<p>Huh? According to my post, Georgetown isn't over Brown. It's under. As in</p>

<p>Brown - reach
Georgetown - high match/low reach
NYU - match</p>

<p>From hardest to easiest. I'm not really sure what you mean by referring to geography. I didn't even think of where the applicant is compared to the location of those colleges. I'm basing my post on acceptance rates of the colleges and the past transfer threads that I've seen on CC.</p>

<p>Brown has a considerably lower transfer rate than the other two, and last year was particularly bad. No one knows how it's going to be this year...it may go back to around 20% (or 200 transfers) or it may stay extremely low. However, Georgetown has consistently had around a 30% acceptance rate. NYU has around the same rate, but I don't believe the accepted students are (overall) as impressive as those admitted to somewhere like Brown, or even Georgetown.</p>

<p>Sorry i was doing something else while posting. I miss read your post</p>

<p>lol ok that's good b/c I was kinda thinkin you were crazy for a minute... :D</p>

<p>Sorry if this is a bit off the OP's topic, but if I have around 45 credits (from summer school courses, etc) after I finish freshman year, my SAT will not be important even though I'm applying as a sophmore></p>

<p>If you're applying to UT, I don't think they even look at test scores for transfers (sux for me). But most private schools still use SATs even for sophomore or junior transfers and some even require/request SAT II scores as well as SAT scores from high school (or encourage students that haven't taken the SAT to take during college).</p>
