Calling all 2008 Transfers!

<p>yes you can..for most schools</p>

<p>Hey guys, I'm actually a Fall 07 transfer, but a successful one at that! I'm leaving Virginia Tech for UVA, and would be happy to answer questions about the UVA process if you want to PM me :)</p>

<p>betterday55, what I meant was that if I didn't try to transfer, then I wouldn't have to study for the ACT and could be doing something else instead. </p>

<p>Yeah, you can retake the ACT.</p>

<p>Hoping to transfer to another school for Fall 2008 as a sophomore.</p>

<p>SAT (new): 2020, old: 1340
High GPA, grades, lots of ECs, internships, clubs, etc. etc. but our school has a serious problem with getting kids into the colleges they want to go to even though it's a private school.</p>

<p>Schools applying to:</p>

<p>Brown University
Yale University
Stanford University
Columbia University
Duke University
Harvard University
University of Pennsylvania
Dartmouth College
Tufts University
Johns Hopkins University
Northwestern University
Georgetown University

University of Notre Dame
Wake Forest University</p>

<p>I was going to do Boston College but I decided not to...this is the list as of now...any input (constructive criticism) would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Thats a ridiculous list. You need to narrow it down..</p>

<p>That is a lot. I wouldn't recommend going far over 12 just for quality's sake, though I do encourage people to cast a wide net.</p>

<p>UChicago
Boston College
Amherst College
CU-Boulder
Swarthmore
Vanderbilt</p>

<p>Believe it or not Yale, Harvard, Stanford, etc. are not on my list. Why? Probably couldn't get in. More importantly, I wouldn't fit in there. </p>

<p>ACT: 25
EC's: Wicked good
High School GPA: Not so good: 3.0 (on the flip side I'm an IB graduate)
College GPA (so far) 4.0 (took summer classes) about to enter fall and spring semester. </p>

<p>I took my ACT around my junior year. I'm guessing I should take it again huh?</p>

<p>haha yeah it wouldn't hurt. ;)</p>

<p>i got a 26 on my act, and i got into amherst. But, due to its competitiveness, i dont know if u can get in.</p>

<p>Amherst college admission system is kinda like the search for the next american idol. You must have the "it" factor.</p>

<p>The "It" Factor (n.): Unable to find satisfaction at any college and thus constantly looking to transfer out.</p>

<p>there is nothing wrong with that =) stuff happens!</p>

<p>speaking of which, i think that i wanna apply to WashU....lol got any tips?</p>

<p>send in your application on January 15th. Congratulations on your acceptance!</p>

<p>what the hell? LOL!!!</p>

<p>I cant apply for the fall remember! or else i will be a 3rd yr!</p>

<p>3rd yr applicant = reject</p>

<p>you gotta strike the iron while its hot!</p>
