<p>If I go to NYU lsp as a freshman and maintain a 4.0 GPA, what kind of a university could I get to? Could I get into an Ivy League school? This is assuming I transfer for junior year.</p>
<p>By the way my SAT score is 2090 and subject tests 600 and 670, and my IB score is 34 points. GCSE's: 4A*s, 4As and 2B's.</p>
<p>Why would you wait til junior year to transfer? Your stats are great, but Ivies are a hit or miss for everyone.</p>
<p>NYU is a great, great school. Most of us would do anything to go there, and yet you are adamant to get out without even experiencing it.</p>
<p>LSP is great. You get to spend time in London, Paris or Berlin or so many great cities for two years. Then you get to spend two years in New York. How great is that?</p>
<p>^ Ok, well, basically I spent my high school years not working and not going to class; therefore, I’ve ended up in a university that’s good, but not amazing. However, I have a renewed determination to succeed and get into investment banking.</p>
<p>Also, is it just me; or do universities give more lenience to high schools stats, seeing as the 1st poster said that my stats were great?! However, for Ivies, if I was applying for freshman year, they’d definately be below average.</p>
<p>Is there anyone who can actually give me advice and answer my question?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>^If you’re trying to get into IB, you should first apply to transfer to Stern. Also, you don’t have to be at an ivy to break into IB. Schools such as UVA, Georgetown, and Northwestern are recruited for IB and are easier to get into than the ivies. However, Cornell may be an exception and because you’re in NY, you would have a leg up in admissions.</p>
<p>Transfer admissions depend on a lot more than just your academic record. You have to have good LOR’s, EC’s and a solid reason for transferring. I myself am applying to transfer to Stern, and I have seen students with 4.0’s be rejected, but those with 3.6’s and 3.7’s be accepted.</p>
<p>If you apply to transfer for sophomore year, your high school record is taken into account. However, for junior year, your high school record is not weighted very much at all.</p>
<p>To add to that, your HS stats are probably better than most other transfer applicants if you got into NYU. Of course, applying to ivies (with Cornell being an exception) is a crap-shoot and even a 2400 SAT wouldn’t guarantee admission.</p>
<p>^ Cool, will the university that I want to transfer to care about the prestige/recognition of the university I came from? So, would a UCLA applicant be favoured over a Penn State applicant (assuming everything else about the two applicants was the same?)</p>
<p>^Yes. You’ll have an advantage because you’re at NYU, assuming you can maintain a high GPA (3.7+). Most transfer applicants are applying from lesser schools, like myself.</p>
<p>^ Are you applying to Ivies?</p>
<p>^Nope but I applied to two top 20s.</p>
