<p>Hello everyone, I am looking to transfer out of Penn State and into a better Finance program. Penn State is ranked around #20 in the rankings but I’m looking for something in the top ten. I have looked at schools like NYU, Penn, Columbia and along those lines. My high school grades and test scores are below average but I have been working very hard to get accepted into a better program ever since college starting So I am posting my stats to get an outside view on my situation and what schools you think I have a shot at getting accepted for a fall 2015 junior transfer. </p>

<p>I am an day trader outside of school and have been investing since 12 years old. My grandfather gave me $1,000 and I turned it into $8,000 in two years. Junior year of high school I began day-trading the investments using shares and option contracts. Last year I had over $500,000 in trading volume. </p>
