Transfer Students
1

<p>so I'm a freshman at a CC in Cali right now and I want to get out as fast as I can! The plan is to transfer to a private, and my school has a minimal amount of info so I need all the help I can get. The schools I would love to transfer to (in order) 1. Notre Dame 2. Vanderbilt 3. Brown 4. USC 5. NYU 6. Georgetown 7. Penn
UCs would be a safety because of my schools transfer agreements</p>

<p>My high school stats were:
GPA: 4.1
SAT I: 1920
*Critical Reading: 660
*Math: 610
*Writing: 650
ACT: 29 composite
SAT II: * Literature: 650
* Math 2C: 680<br>
Graduated top 10% of class</p>

<p>EC's
300 comm service hours
3 Years Girls Golf
ASB Vice Pres and Commissioner of Athletics
Founded Spanish National Honors Society at my school along with a tutoring program
CSF sealbearer
NHS-2 years
National Exchange Club Student of the Year for my school
Board member of school site council-2 years
Board member of school district inter-council of students</p>

<p>I got into LMU and UCSB (rejected from SC and LA) but my heart wasn't into either.</p>

<p>My agenda for this year is to be as involved as I can with school, and get a 4.0 with these classes that I plan to register for...</p>

<p>first off, your high school stats are good and you got into some really good schools (ucsb and lmu)!</p>

<p>my advice to you is to continue being really active on campus as that shows you are still extremely interested in making the campus a better place and you really care about other students and teachers. also to maximize your chances of transferring to those colleges, i suggest to aim as close as a 4.0 as possible (cliche, i know but true!)</p>

<p>other than that, i hope you are doing great in your summer classes and best of luck in your transfer admissions process (even though you probably wont need it seeing as you are a great candidate!!)</p>

<p>oh and I should add that I want to major in communications and minor in poli sci!
thanks mathmajor :)</p>

<p>cbradshaw, the only real advice we can give you is keep the GPA as high as possible. It plays much more of a role in transfer admissions than in freshman admissions.</p>

<p>Also depending on when you would like to transfer, your HS stats will play less and less of a role on your application. Are you trying to do a sophomore or junior transfer? If you’re doing a junior transfer, get yourself involved in some extra-curriculars (preferably with a leadership position) or get a job.</p>

<p>For the schools that still want SAT which is most or all here, you’ll want at least the average score for a freshmen admit, so retake or try the ACT.</p>
