Considering transferring colleges - Which schools should I be looking at?

Hi,

I'm a sophomore Finance major at Lehigh University and I'm starting to realize I'm not happy here anymore. The school has such a focus on Greek life and partying, I'm feeling less and less like I fit it. Also, I'd like to find a school that has heavier recruitment in IB.

I'm obviously not set on transferring, but the idea is crossing my mind.

I have a 3.60 GPA here, did well in high school (2110 SATs, graduated 6th in my class of 300+).

I'd love to transfer to Georgetown or Cornell. Vanderbilt, Emory, and USC all seem to have fairly lenient transfer admission req., so they might be reasonable too.

Would these be feasible? Which other schools would you suggest I look into?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you!

 

Stop thinking about it and transfer asap. Get out now while you still can and its not too late. More people should consider transferring but they don't. Too lazy, too hard, sad to see my friends behind, blah blah. Make quick decisions and execute. Or, stay there in a place where you are not happy. Great idea.
