<p>Hey all</p>
<p>this is my first time on college confidential…</p>
<p>Im an international student from the Southeast asia region, in my 2nd year of college in my country. I obtained a 2120 on the SAT, and a 3.2 gpa after my 3rd semester. I submitted a transfer application to Brown, Cornell and Uchicago, but i’m not so sure how my chances are, and would love to hear some opinions (despite the transfer deadlines being over.)</p>
<p>I’m applying for the economics majors in all the above, with nothing As on two economics modules. I maintained a 3.4 gpa average during the 1st year, but unfortunately dropped to 3.2 after my 3rd semester due to trying to take too many courses =S</p>
<p>My recs were amazing though, and my ECs are below.</p>

- overseas community service projects, benefitting children affected by the Taiwan Typhoon Fanapi

-private tutoring.
-pretty confident of dragging my gpa up to a 3.8 this semester</p>
