transfer?

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I am thinking about transferring from my current Institution Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I am right now in a 5 year program with a BS in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Financial Technologies and an MS in Financial Engineering, Risk Analytics (FERA). I am not entirely sure where but I have a good idea. I was thinking about Columbia, CMU, UVA, USC, UCLA, MIT, and Vanderbilt. I am a 3.7 student, which is top 15% of my class. I am the treasurer of the class of 2015. I have started my own fund in which I was able to increase the initial amount by 137% in a matter of a month. I have had internships in many different hedge funds in wall street. I am a member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). I was awarded a “Rising Star” by Investopedia.com, which means that I was able to get into the top 5 of a national virtual stock trading game (I got 5th out of 30,000). Sorry for this long message, I just want to know if I am in the right track with the schools I am applying to or if I am missing any schools in my list or take out any because I am not a good candidate.</p>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>Don’t you already have a number of threads asking the same thing with various lists of schools? Did you not like the advice you received on those other threads? Can you afford those schools? Frankly I think most of them are reaches. Are you only interested in “trading up”?</p>

<p>I don’t mean to repost or anything, I just saw that it got moved and no one responded so I reposted it. My apologies for making it seem like I didn’t like the advice. Yes I am trying to “trade up” sort of speak so I need help.</p>
