There is a small chance you could get into Mt. Holyoke. However, you really do have no chance at the other places. The SAT isn’t everything, but it is still significant. Most people transferring to the other schools on your list get well above 2000. Diablo 47 is also correct that most transfers get above your GPA. I therefore suggest you save your money. If your school really is the best in Asia, then it is far better for you, and will give you more opportunities later down the road than any school in America or Canada that you could get into. I’m not trying to make you feel bad; I’m really trying to help you.These applications can be quite costly if you live overseas. Moreover, I really do think that you’ll have a better future coming from the school you’re going to. Think about it this way: would you rather get a 3.7 from Asia’s best university, or struggle for a potentially lower grade at an unknown school far from home?
