<p>I recently got accepted into Dartmouth where I have decided to pursue my studies. However, looking towards the future, I realize my strengths lie more in pursuit of the mathematical sciences than in the general humanities curriculum that Dartmouth provides. As such is the case, I am currently considering transferring to another school.</p>

<p>bobby100--actually you are wrong on both counts.</p>
<p>Dartmouth has honors programs. They are just in each individual department. For example, look at this site, which tells about the "Freshman Honors in Mathematics program".</p>
<p>Also, while some of the data given seems almost impossible, I'm not sure we should ignore this poster completely. The schools this student is asking about (Cranfield (in England), Insead (in France), and York (in Canada)) are all highly-ranked schools equal to or even possibly superior to Dartmouth in the mathematical sciences--which seems to be this person's focus.</p>
<p>If the data is not bogus, then the OP has chances at all of the schools--with the possible exception of Pi University--which I've never heard of. Anyone aware of this school? Dartmouthorbust, can you give us more info on this school?</p>
<p>The IB scores are impossible. Poster doesn't seem to know that you take 6 exams in each of the sections, but you may take 2 in one section to opt out of music/art. That means 1 science, 1 math, 1 social science, 1 English, 1 foreign language, and 1 fine arts. And there's no such thing as "French Lang, German Lang, English Lit, Classical Greek, Spanish Lang", and "Calculus HL". Calculus is only SL.</p>
<p>thanks, foofoff and Robert_McCloud, I forgot that you only take 1 foreign language test. All of these tests are real tests, but the troll forgot that detail. I also looked at this person's previous posts and you are right about the troll remark--he/she's been doing other nonsense stuff on other threads.</p>
<p>Those ECs seem fake. First off, achieving the the distinction of a Siemens Westinghouse Finalist requires an enormous amount of passion into science and research. You'd have to spend lots of hours in the lab, researching and writing lab reports and papers. How is the OP able to dedicate so much time to research if he's the captain of the debate team, the soccer team, editor of the yearbook, first chair, president of the key club, student body president, a close to perfect academic record, and still have time to volunteer 10 hours a week at a hospital????</p>
<p>First off, what's a troll? Secondly you should note I am twenty years of age, and when I say I refer to my senior year, I am implying senior year and post-senior year to the current time. As far as the IB tests while you are generally correct it has been known in certain cases (when coming from a multi-lingual family, having lived in three countries, and given time, two extra years in my case, the opportunity arises to take extra IB courses). You should also note that, I did not receive an IB diploma but rather took many IB tests in courses which were my strength.</p>
<p>Finally, I thank those of you who actually gave me constructive advice.</p>
<p>You can't transfer to Cambridge U. It's not possible.
What's Pi University?
INSEAD and Cranfield are primary graduate institutions...
Are you looking for grad schools?</p>
<p>correct...camrbidge doesn't do intl transfers. in addition, i kinda doubt he's a troll b/c his s/n is dartmouthorbust. make a s/n solely for the purpose of this thread...or he actually does go to dartmouth. I'd say the latter.</p>
<p>if he is a troll, i don't see the point in posting so much data with an actual inquiry and taking the time to find schools that he's interested in.</p>
<p>SAT I isn't that high for someone posting fake stats either. </p>
<p>Frankly, I'm not really sure what your question is. You want chances? You've been through this before and got into Stanford, Columbia, and Dartmouth. All schools that accept transfer students are possible and probable for you.</p>
<p>...You're not allowed to take an IB test unless you're a diploma candidate. And if you're a diploma candidate, you can only take 6 tests. So even if you were a diploma candidate but then dropped out, you still wouldn't be allowed to take more than 6 tests.</p>
<p>I think the OP is counting the cummulative AMC + AIME score. But still...ECs seem fishy.. Unless you're a genius, doing all those activities at such a high caliber is highly unlikely.</p>
<p>actually you can take an IB test if youre not a diploma candidate, I did it (its called a certificate). The OP is still a troll however, look at his previous posts and those ECs are impossible.</p>
<p>you can be a certificate candidate, but you arent allowed 8 tests. at least look up some info about the ib program before just making stuff up. its like people who go to baseball games and yell "hey bronson arroyo! you're mediocre!" at least do your homework and make up something believable. jeez.</p>
<p>who would win in a fight (no weapons), this troll, or whartonorbust?</p>
