<p>I am graduating from a community college in December with my AA degree. I have already applied for spring transfer to NYU, Vassar, Brandeis, Emory, Smith, University of South Florida, Flagler College, and Loyola U Chicago. </p>
<p>I have a decent college GPA at 3.75 with decent ECs. Some of the above are obvious reaches for me, but I what I'm wondering is how much the acceptance rates vary for the different majors? I am an education major and I'm wondering if it might easier/harder for me to get into these schools based on that? Does it even matter what your major is? Do they accept so many people in each major? </p>
<p>I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this! Thanks!</p>
<p>It will depend on the school, as far as I know. I doubt the variance across schools would be significant, mostly depending on their department size & how many transfers they accept. I go to Flagler currently & Education is a big program here. They do tend to have higher acceptance requirements but your GPA is pretty good. Flagler is also very welcoming to transfers. Sorry I can’t be of more help! Good luck.</p>
<p>Not so much your major as which school within the University you apply to. It depends on the competitiveness of the school, for instance Wharton has a lower acceptance rate than Penn’s Arts and Sciences school. Universities typically have a separate “school of education,” so you should look up stats for those individually, but they should be pretty close to the University’s overall acceptance rate. Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Thanks hotdogseller, that is actually what I mean to ask. I meant the individual school within the college, not major. I was just wondering if there was a difference. For example, I know NYU Stern is extremely competitive and surely it must be easier to get in to Steinhardt. I suppose it doesn’t really matter a whole lot since I already applied. I am just feeling so anxious because I really don’t want to go to school in Florida and I just want to be accepted to one of the other schools, just one, I don’t care which one because I like them all, but I can’t stand waiting for the decision. I would probably feel better if I felt I was more competitive with my stats. Thanks for the reply!</p>
<p>You’ll probably get into nyu and brandeis</p>
<p>Thanks. I pretty much applied to NYU as a long shot because my sister is applying to Tisch for the fall. Not a long shot because of the acceptance, but long shot because they basically give no financial aid to transfers

<p>I would definitely be overjoyed with Brandeis. I have some good ECs I think. I am a volunteer teacher assistant in a special needs class, I am a high school cross country coach, and I have another part time job teaching knitting. I thought it was good because they all relate to my major. I have more but they don’t relate, i.e. rape crisis advocate, competitive figure skater for 11 years, varsity cross country in high school, special olympics coach for figure skating, those are a few. On the downside, by hs gpa was a 3.0 and I have some Ws on my college transcript, even though I re-took them and got As.</p>
