<p>I’m currently a freshman at a large 4yr university and would like to apply to transfer to a top tier school.
hs gpa: 3.5/ ACT: 28/
college gpa: 3.8
will have 75 quarter credit hrs at the end of this year
involved in several clubs, community service</p>
<p>Im interested in applying to:
Vanderbilt
Northwestern
UChicago
NYU
Georgetown
Emory
Boston College (not completely sure)
London School of Economics</p>
<p>Have you applied to these schools before? If you did, and were not granted acceptance, I would say the chances of getting in are a little better, but still slim.</p>
<p>Though you have 75 quarter hours, that’s based on your current school, correct? It’s not possible to have 50 semester hours in one year. </p>
<p>From my experience, schools don’t even look at the AP scores (they have you send them in AFTER you are accepted).</p>
<p>My advice would be, if you really want to go to a top tier school just because it is a top tier school, try to do another year at your current school so that your HS GPA and ACT won’t matter as much. </p>
<p>That being said,</p>
<p>I think you could get into BC, and NYU. (I don’t know about LSE). You would be on the cusp of Vanderbilt and Emory. And, I would say that Chicago, NW, and Georgetown are long shots.</p>
<p>yea the 75 qr hrs would include my ap credits</p>
<p>And no, I haven’t applied to any of these schools before</p>
<p>i think you have a solid chance at all of those schools except for uchicago, northwestern, and possibly georgetown</p>
<p>LSE, and all UK schools in general, don’t have a transfer admissions process, so you would be applying to be a 1st year student and would lose all of your credits. im not completely sure, but i think it is pretty difficult to be admitted there as an american student</p>
<p>IMO, if you do it now, you don’t have much chance at any and all you listed, but nothing lose nothing gain, try them all. In addition, try some lower tiered schools, just in case.</p>
<p>scond on the next year suggestion.</p>
