<p>I am a freshman at UNC-Chapel Hill
My schedule is Chinese 101, Econ 101 Honors, Math 231 (Calculus), A random walk down wall street (freshman seminar on investment strategies), English 101
So far things are good and I feel I can pull a 3.9-4.0 this semester. My Sat would be retaken. With these stats what courses should I take next semester and what SAT score should I am for to be able to transfer to Wharton or Harvard or even yale. If it helps I am black and I am an independent student. The clubs I am in are the econ club, boxing team, Black student movement, College Republicans, Carolina Challange (I am a VP, it is an entreprenuership competition where you start a business) Fed Challenge team and I am planing on joining the debate club</p>
<p>Any comments on chances or anything I should do to improve my chances of transfering to Wharton and Harvard.
Also I was rejected regular to harvard and defered then rejected to wharton</p>
<p>Well, just so you know, the % chances of acceptance at HY ,etc are much less for transfers than for Freshman. Harvard, unlike Chicago and a very few other top colleges, accept transfers as there is space available. And that is a function of how over enrolled the incoming freshman class is, coupled with how many students transfer out. Last year Harvard announced in mid April, I believe, that they would be accepting less than 2% of transfer applicants. So don't get your hopes up, especially as you were already denied as a freshman.</p>
<p>Wait less than 2 percent? It usually accepts 75 transfer students out of 1000. They are expecting to accept around 40ish this year. It's more like 5%</p>
<p>there is no telling what the acceptance rate will be until they find out how many accepted Freshman say "yes" on April 1. With the baby-boomlet, last year, many colleges- Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, etc ended up accepting few transfers than they "normally" do, because more freshman accepted the offers of admission than were expected to. That's what yield is all about. And since these next few years represent the peak of the boomlet, the same thing might happen again this year.</p>
<p>UNC is a great school - I'm sure you know that. One suggestion, if you don't get admitted to Harvard or Wharton as a transfer, apply to those schools for an MBA.</p>
<p>Get a Wharton MBA. If the schools rejected you already they will probably reject you again for transfer, but grad school is a whole new ball game.</p>
