<p>I toured the school after Thanksgiving and fell in love. I already got into University of South Florida, Central Florida, Florida State, New College of FL, and Tulane. Still waiting for Unversity of Florida and of course Barnard.</p>

<p>Anything you can tell me would be much appreciated.</p>

<p>Love, Julie</p>

<p>Hey, I went to USF for a year before transferring to Barnard. Cool to see someone else from the area interested. Your scores and grades are pretty solid; how's your rank? Your EC's seem pretty dedicated, especially to music and math. Did you apply RD? What did you write about for your essays?</p>

<p>I'm 52 out of 601, 9th Percent. I'm leaning political science or something like that. I'm still working on my essays (I know, I know the deadline is Jan. 1) but I'll have everything done in time.</p>

<p>Why did you transfer?</p>

<p>Julie</p>

<p>The essays are important, so take as much time as you need to make them shine. If you can make yourself come out there, I think you've got a strong shot.</p>

<p>I just decided I wanted a more traditional college experience.</p>

<p>Do you think it was easier to transfer? Do you think you missed out on anything because you weren't there from freshmen year?</p>

<p>Julie</p>

<p>Hmm, I really can't say if it was easier or not. SAT scores and admissions rates are about the same, and college GPA should be above 3.7 to be competitive. But I do think that coming from a very different school, like USF, it was easy to make a case for why I wanted to go somewhere new.</p>

<p>I do sometimes feel like I missed out by not being here, though.</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>Does anyone else have an opinion?</p>
