<p>Hey all, first time poster here :D. </p>
<p>I’m just looking for advice on the best ways to transfer into top ivys, especially Wharton at Penn. I recently got rejected by all 8 of the colleges that I applied to this year, so I’m looking to transfer next year. Any tips and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>GPA?
SAT?
are you recently immigrated from another country (this will lead to total rejection as a freshman applicant, I tried)</p>
<p>i’m going to graduate this year roughly with a 4.0 cumulative GPA, and i scored 1370 on my SAT. i’m guessing i got rejected this because of my SATII’s.</p>
<p>Writing 630, Math IC 660, Spanish 600. </p>
<p>Korean Male.</p>
<p>Is the 4.0 weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>BTW, those are very similar to my HS stats if that’s unweighted GPA…</p>
<p>HS GPA: 4.0 u/w
SAT: 1380
MIC: 660, WR: 620, US His: 600</p>
<p>I don’t know why but I just wanted to mention it… </p>
<p>Where all did you apply?</p>
<p>what school did you apply?</p>
<p>i think it’s a 4.2 or 4.3 weighted and 3.high8 or 3.low to mid 9 unweighted. i’ll pull up my xscripts tomorrow if i can. i applied to harvard, yale, princeton, penn, cmu, cornell, nyu stern, and unc-ch. i’m not too surprised with the rejections after having read some of the people’s profiles on this website.</p>
<p>Edit: thanks for the replies so far :D</p>
<p>Yeah those were all reaches unless you were in-state for UNC, which I’m guessing you weren’t because I’m betting you would’ve been accepted. I don’t mean that in an offensive way either, since your stats are good. Those schools are reaches for most people.</p>
<p>but errr, back to the question! :p</p>
<p>what are my best chances at xferring into those schools?</p>
<p>should i take all honors at a cc (SMC) and hold an accounting job down before xferring, or should i get my butt into Loyola Marymount, concentrate on grades and then xfer from there?</p>
