Would I have a chance ANYWHERE?

Applying to College
1

<p>I'm a freshman at Lynn University (in FL) and I'm planning to transfer next year (junior transfer). Since I'm doing much better in college, and I think I've proved my academic potential, I decided to give it a shot now! My highschool GPA was a 2.7.
I'm an international student from Spain. I'm not applying for aid.
My major is business administration with a concentration in marketing, and I also have a minor in public relations.
My stats are:
Current GPA: 4.0
SAT I: 780 CR, 750 M, 800 W
SAT II: 800 French, 750 Literature, 770 German
Extracurriculars:
1. President of Creative Writing Club
2. Vice President of Business Team
3. Member of Speech and Debate Team
4. Member of Best Buddies, organized several events on campus.
5. Raised $5000 for Pencils for Promise (a community organization to promote education in Central America and Asia)
6. President of International Affairs Society
7. Blogger for iPulse (our student newspaper)
8. Member of Cheer team
Others...this isn't an extracurricular I do at school, but...I started an organization (in the summer after I graduated) to help lower-income students in their search for universities and to promote higher education. Basically, what we do is we provide advice, study materials (we've donated SAT Prep books, etc) and we serve as "college counselors" for them.
Job experience: Worked at a local finance firm in Spain (back when I was in highschool), did a 2 months internship for Merrill Lynch. I recently had an offer for an internship with Edelman in Miami (a PR firm), so I plan on doing that too!</p>

<p>What are my chances at:
1. NYU (Stern)
2. Stanford
3. Tufts
4. USC
5. Harvard/Darmouth/Georgetown
6. uPenn (Wharton)
7. UCLA
8. Williams</p>

<p>Please be honest. I can handle criticism. </p>

<p>So, what do you guys think...?</p>

<p>Can some please help me?</p>

<p>100% true.</p>

<p>^Ugh. I didn’t mean “anywhere” obviously. I meant to the places I listed.</p>

6

<p>Maybe post this in the transfer students forum?</p>

7

<p>^ Thanks, I will do that too.</p>

8

<p>Can anyone still please chance me? I would really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Those schools accept so few transfers (or out of state transfers) that it’s really hard to say if you’ll get in. I don’t see anything that I would say, oh you need to improve at x or y. It looks like you’ve done the best possible with your opportunities. You’ll just have to wait and see. Good luck.</p>

<p>I mean, you do have great stats, but sometimes those schools will throw you for a loops and try to “diversify” by not having so many cookie-cutter students… in which case, you’re screwed. Other than that, I think you will be fine.</p>

<p>Williams and Tufts don’t even have a business major. And why are you ranking Harvard, Dartmouth and Georgetown together? What is the connection? And why do you have such an odd mix of business schools and liberal arts institutions?</p>

<p>It seems that you have not really thought about where you want to go and have just reproduced the names from a high-end rankings list. I would recommend that you do more research into whether these schools offer the program/major you want. Good luck to you.</p>
