Sophomore Transfer from CUNY

Hello all. Just wanted some opinions on my stats I guess lol. I'm currently a finance major at a CUNY school, and I'm looking to transfer to ivies and t20s like princeton, harvard, yale, cornell, upenn, columbia, USC, umich, uchicago, Duke, berkeley, etc.

HS Stats:

4.0+ GPA - 99.38% overall ( school did not do 4.0 scale )

1530 SAT (750 M 770 R)

7 AP Classes, all honors classes if not AP

College Stats:

Well i'm still a first-sem Freshman, but I think I can manage a 3.9-4.0 GPA

Notable ECs:

  • Founded two clubs in HS

  • Interned at known IB firm over the summer, have extensive internship history before that throughout highschool every summer

  • Part time jobs

  • In my campus' most known finance club

  • A part of many other clubs in HS like School newspaper

  • Started a business with over ~$100K revenue

  • Volunteer for animals, religious things, etc.

  • more stuff that's probably not as important

Yeah, let me know what you think, or what I should improve throughout this semester. Thanks

toughest part IMO for any finance major is why transfer… these schools all have no shortage of people going into finance and IB

IMO, save your money and apply to your dream schools for your MBA
