What's next? - Current sophmore thinking about transferring

I am currently a sophomore and thinking about transferring. I want to go to a school that I can get in and one that will help me break in investment banking. I have provided my stats below:

College: State school, not ranked (Sophomore year)
GPA: 3.65 (2 Ws and one repeat)
SAT: CR: 670, M: 800, W: 730
Presidential Scholar
Honors Program
Class President
Start up 1: CFO/co-founder (optimizing weigh in motion machines)
Start up 2: Founder (online personal trainer)
Most Outstanding Freshman
Investment manager ($250,000 +)
Other little things...freshman rep, speech & debate team, co-founded intramural team, etc.

High School stats: (public)
GPA: 3.1 (horrible during 3rd & 4th year)
President of math club, forensics
VP biology club
varsity soccer, track, cross country
Community service 500+ hours at local hospital
Lots of other little things...

Please suggest schools where I would be able to get in and have better chances of getting in IB.

Thank you!

 

Off the top of my head and based on what i have seen from others that have transferred, I would suggest: UVA - McIntire Michigan - Ross NYU - possibly Stern Emory - Goizueta UC-Berk or LA - would be helpful if you are instate

All of the above schools place very well on Wall St. Obviously this could be more helpful if you gave more info on what your looking for in a college. I think you should have a reasonable chance at each of these schools and many of them are "transfer friendly".

 

If you're keeping track of the number of hours of community service you do, doesn't that kind of defeat the point entirely? Since when did people start doing community service, purely because they think it will somehow help their resume?

Everything else seems legit. Might wish to look into Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Georgetown and BC as well.

All of the schools listed above seem like great choices.

 

I heard Ross and Haas are not transfer friendly are almost impossible to get into by transfers... just what ive been reading on WSO though so not sure. You have some good stats - out of your list i would only personally go with Indiana (Kelly), Washington U, and Dartmouth.
