I'm not sure if someone has already made this thread but I haven't seen one lol
I just began my freshman year at University of Pittsburgh with an intended major of Physics and Astronomy and a minor in Mathematics. I know it's VERY early but I'd like to get started on my fall 2017 transfer application as soon as possible. During my senior year of high school I applied to University of Pittsburgh, Penn State, Fordham, Drexel, Temple, and NYU. I was accepted to 5/6 of them and was rejected from NYU. I'm planning on applying again for admission as a sophomore (fall 2017.)
Here are my high school stats:
High school GPA - 3.7/4.0 W, 8 honors classes, no APs
College GPA - I haven't started classes yet
SAT - 1960/2400 and 1260/1600 (CR - 640, M - 620, W - 700)**
EC - SAT tutoring for other students during my senior year, youtube channel with over 50,000 subscribers, 3 years of drama department during high school (4 productions)
Volunteer Work - over 20+ hours at the spca, cradles for crayons, and other various volunteer events
**I'm wondering if I should consider retaking the SAT to score 1400+ out of the new 1600 system since my current score would only be 1260/1600
The courses that I'm taking this fall at University of Pittsburgh are as follows:
Calculus I - 4 credits
Physics I - 4 credits
Statistics I - 4 credits
Seminar in Composition - 3 credits (gen-ed)
Intro to the Arts and Sciences - 1 credit
Total for first semester - 16 credits
I'm aiming to get a 3.9+ GPA for my first semester.
I'm planning on joining the Green Team (environmental club) and pursuing some leadership positions and volunteer work as well. By the time I finish my freshman year at Pitt, I'll have 32-34 credits.
I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in transferring to NYU and if so, please post your current stats or any questions so we can talk it out (: I feel kind of alone in this whole process so it'd be nice to know that someone else is feeling the same way.
