I was wait listed 2012 RD to uChicago and never really followed up

32 ACT
Volunteering ECs
3.84 GPA at NYU (18 credits / 1 B+ in a ridiculous essay class / Dean’s List)
I will most likely get a 4.0 spring semester
PreMed

I would like to say I have a good reason for transferring but it’s really just because NYU is too expensive.

Should I bother spending the 80 to apply?

I’m considering uPenn as well because I was also wait listed there. Would that be more realistic?

And my essay for 2012 made everyone who read it cry. It was supposed to be an optimistic essay, too. Who knows if that’s a good or bad thing. I kind of liked it.
