Hi everyone! I’m applying as transfer applicant for the Fall 07 term as a Sport Management major. I was wondering about my chances for merit aid and entrance into the Pennoni Honors College.

Here’s my info:

College
Currently a freshman at Northeastern University
1st term - 3.7 GPA, 14 credits
Taking a business-oriented course load, 16 credits this term
Some EC’s (was active with a political group during election time although I haven’t gone in awhile, wrote some articles for the school newspaper)
High School
Went to a competitive NYC high school which sends 20+ kids to NYU, 10+ to Cornell, 10+ to Columbia yearly (many students use Drexel as a safety)
88.8 UW GPA (low, I know, but it was 84 my freshman year)
Took 4 AP’s (Spanish, World History, European History, Art History)
1330/1920 SAT (640 Verbal 690 Math 590 Writing)

I also have excellent EC’s in regards to the Sport Management major. I interned with the Mets (won a contest) and worked in the press box, wrote articles for their official website and also wrote a column-style article for the team’s official magazine. I also am arranging to intern for someone who works as a lawyer for the Yankees.

I am afraid that as a transfer applicant, my chances of merit aid will be severely reduced as well as for the Honors College.
