<p>I applied for transfer to four schools this year, and was turned down four times. I will likely try again this year, but am looking for help coming up with a more realistic list. </p>
<p>What I am looking for</p>
<ul>
<li>Strong program in either Finance or Economics</li>
<li>I would prefer the northeast, but will go just about anywhere</li>
<li>Strong job-placement</li>
</ul>
<p>College Resume</p>
<ul>
<li>George Washington University</li>
<li>Double-majoring in Finance and International Business</li>
<li>3.5 GPA now, should be 3.7 by time of transfer</li>
</ul>
<p>High School Resume</p>
<ul>
<li>2,060 SAT</li>
<li>SAT II’s in the high 600’s</li>
<li>31 ACT</li>
<li>GPA: 3.3 uw, 4.8 w</li>
<li>Class Rank: 225 out of 700</li>
<li>11 AP courses, 4+ on nine of them, also took 5 Honors courses</li>
<li>Editor of an award-winning newspaper</li>
<li>Nationally recognized for my journalism</li>
<li>Community service, job, and internship</li>
<li>My high school is one of the best in the country, and is extemely competitive. We usually send over fifty to Ivies or other top schools every year. As I struggle with foreign languages, I received C’s and D’s in them that sunk my GPA and class rank.</li>
</ul>
<p>Previous Applications</p>
<ul>
<li>Applied ED to Cornell, got turned down. Applied for transfer to Cornell, got turned down.</li>
<li>My dream school is Georgetown. I applied for transfer and had a very successful interview, but was turned down.</li>
<li>I also applied for transfer to Notre Dame and WashU, but was turned down both times.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other Information</p>
<ul>
<li>I am a legacy at UC-Berkeley, but am not a California resident and I heard that they do not give preference to legacy applicants</li>
<li>Northwestern takes a ton of students from my high school, and I live nearby. I do not know if this will help or hurt me.</li>
</ul>
<p>Transferring Fall 2008</p>
<p>Assuming I get my GPA up to a 3.7, which I am fairly certain that I will, I am looking at the following schools…</p>
<p>Northwestern
Georgetown
Notre Dame
Cornell
Brown</p>
<p>Do I have a shot at said schools, and do you have any recommendations on schools I should be looking at?</p>
