USC -> Ivy League (Junior Transfer)

<p>I don’t know if this makes any difference at all, but I had some personal (psychological) issues while at HS (afterall, surviving a Top %5 prep school is NOT THAT EASY despite whatever stereotypes there are hovering over these types of schools) and this had fairly affected my HS G.P.A. Is this something that I should highlight in my application?</p>

<p>I would also like to point out that, although I know it sounds stupid and pretentious of me (and forgive me if I did) to post such hypothetical and nonexistant stats, I want to use these thoughtful “evaluations” as a guide that I can work with for the next few years to achieve my goals. I can also get a clear sense now of how much I need to work “my butt off” and get my priorities straight so I don’t have to waste precious time on pondering about my transfer process.</p>

<p>Given so, in what aspect will I have to boost my E.C. to achieve a satisfactory “basis” for a successful transfer to an Ivy? Despite Canescans’ general examples of what kinds of activities I should participate in, I would like to know some more specific and practical “super leadership skills” E.C.s that I might be able to actually do and suceed whlie at school.</p>

<p>But whatever the case, I’m still grateful for the individuals who have left me with some valuable piece of insights that I’m sure would help boost my inspiriation and the motiviation to achieve my goals.</p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>
