What are my chances for undergrad transfer?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everybody! I'm a college junior looking to transfer to a more prestigious school. I didn't have much direction when I was younger (homeschooled) and I don't ever believe I took the SAT or ACT. My goal is to get into finance so I'd like the most prestigious school possible. I know my chances for top schools are rather low as a transfer already, so what schools would be my best bet for finance? </p>

<p>Hoping for:
Ivies
Duke
Notre Dame
Berkeley
Penn
MIT
Boston</p>

<p>School: CA CSU
GPA: 3.53 overall. 3.697 CSU GPA
AP scores: English 4, History 4</p>

<p>Dean's List</p>

<p>All lower division classes completed.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Work since I was 17. I have worked for Wells Fargo, startup SEO company, AT&T,T-mobile.
Black Belt in Kenpo Karate.
Amateur fight experience.
Founder of (college) student investment club.
Varsity (high school) soccer, basketball, volleyball team captain.
Currently interning at a hedge fund in SF. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Also, I do have a misdemeanor reckless driving conviction. Would this totally mess me up?</p>

<p>Not to be mean but you won’t get in. Harvard has 3 groups of people

  1. those who pay there way in
  2. those get Athletic schloraships
  3. everyone else</p>

<p>there is a small amount of people who get in by grades alone. A 3.5 GPA is nice but you need 3.9 or 4.0 to get into in the ivies. Even 4.0 GPA’s don’t get accepted. You need to have lots of volunteer, been in many organizations, done summer college events or activities relating to what your major will be. Then you MIGHT be accepted. </p>

<p>Also your misdemeanor would make them want you less. The Ivies are prestigious schools with a image to up hold. They don’t want to take anyone that could damage their reputation. </p>

<p>Berkeley and Duke might be harder for you to get into but you still have a chance. </p>

<p>Notre dame and Penn are more likely to accept you.</p>
