Would anyone mind chancing me as a sophomore Yale transfer?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Heya everyone,</p>

<p>I'm very interested in applying to Yale because I would like to have the resources of their economic history graduate program and would like to hopefully be accepted into their ethics, politics, and economics major, something my current school does not offer. I am also interested in joining their varsity sailing team as well as their skeet & trap club team, but I don't think I will be undergoing recruitment for sailing. Nonetheless, here are my stats:</p>

<p>Honor Roll, NHS, AP Scholar w/ Distinction, School English award</p>

<p>SAT: 760 CR, 730 M, 680 Wr
Bio SAT II - 750
Math II Sat II - 760
AP English Lit - 5
AP English Lang - 5
AP Bio - 5
AP French - 5
AP Euro - 4
AP AB Calc - 4</p>

<p>High School GPA: Freshman - 92; Sophomore - 95; Junior - 98.6; Senior - 99.8
High School ECs:
---Economics Club - President
---Literary Magazine - Editor in Chief
---Young Investors Club - Co-founder and Vice President
---Varsity Tennis - Player and Playing Manager
---TV/Radio Club - Producer/Announcer/Reporter
---Sole Proprietor of Watercolor Painting Business</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.67 (low b/c couldn't go to class for 6 weeks because of pneumonia, but by the end of March should be around 3.86-3.88)
College ECs:
---Founder/writer/etc of Economicals magazine (has to do with everything that economics touches... finance to ethics to you name it)
---Sailing Team - Member
---Squash Team - Member
---Dance Marathon Committee (largest student philanthropy effort) - Group Leader
---founder of an economics type club as well.
---In a fraternity, hopefully a leadership position in Interfraternity Council</p>

<p>Thank you much!</p>

<p>none of your high school transcript matters after you’ve been in college for a year (maybe the SAT does, i’m not sure) but I know your high school curriculum doesn’t (Nor should it) </p>

<p>Sorry to inform you but a 3.67 won’t cut it. Try applying as a junior even though it is usually harder to transfer as a junior. Good luck though. BTW do you play tennis in college? I am my varsity tennis #1 player, but am not sure whether I will be good enough at a large university. Where do you go now? That matters a lot as well I presume</p>

<p>I currently go to Northwestern. Even though the 3.67 is brutally low, do you think after bringing it up to the higher end of 3.8 by the end of my second quarter at the end of March (since NU is on the quarter system) that will still be too low?</p>

<p>If you’re your varsity #1 player, you should be able to play somewhere unless it is a school that heavily recruits for tennis, but I wouldn’t expect to be your college’s #1 player. I don’t play in college though I have thought about joining the club team.</p>

<p>Northwestern is a great school. You probably know more about college acceptance than me, but a 3.8 cumulative for the year sure would help. I am just a high school kid, not an admissions officer. I would give you a 20-30% chance maybe? Apply to others as well and see. good luck</p>

<p>Anyone else have any thoughts or experiences with transferring to Yale?</p>
