<p>Hi everyone. Please tell me your honest opinion on my chances at the above mentioned schools, here are my stats:
-Purdue U business major
-transferring for sophmore fall '08(freshman now)
-3.77 gpa on 13 credits(taking 18 next semester)
-3.2 hs gpa(sigh)......1180/1600 sat(sigh,again)
-took all honors in hs, no aps
-lots of comm. service, two jobs over the last 3 years
-in about 3-4 clubs now at university(mostly volunteering)</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>Fordham, decent chance</p>
<p>did you get a 420 on the SAT writing section? that will hurt you in admissions.</p>
<p>no, i got a 590 on math, 590 on reading comp and 590 on writing....i think g-town only considers two of them(so out of 1600)..</p>
<p>any1 else??</p>
<p>you are right, GU only looks at V+M. a 1180 is still low, actually too low, for georgetown...it will be less important if you are older (i.e junior transfer, been out of school in between for a while) but otherwise it might screw you. a 3.77 GPA is good, but a 3.7 is the average, so you are only slightly above average with heinous SATs. it doesnt look to hot with GU, but Lehigh and Fordham are a lot lot lot more likely. id say Fordham is almost a lock and lehigh is a good match. best of luck.</p>
<p>Did you take no APs because your school didn't offer them or because you chose not to?</p>
<p>I think that GU is likely if you have a good essay and letter of recommendation. You are a transfer so your sat scores dont matter that much.</p>
<p>i took pretty much all honors.i went to a public school that offered ap's but i didnt get serious about high school until junior year, so thats why.
so the feeling is...</p>
<p>Fordham-very good chance, almost definite
Lehigh-decent chance
Georgetown-outside chance</p>
<p>*Would i have a better chance applying to the Georgetown college of Georgetown university(can major in econ)or the McDonough school of business of Georgetown university?</p>
<p>obviously, econ... lol</p>
<p>yeah, i will apply as economics major...if i get accepted(10-20% chance right?), i could try an internal transfer by the end of soph. year, since its all liberal arts cirriculum the first two years...</p>
<p>You "should" get into Lehigh. If you're worried, apply to the College of Arts in science where you can major in Economics, but get a B.A. If you get into Lehigh under CAS, just transfer to the business school after your first semester. It's easy. I had two friends do it.</p>
<p>mcdonough is easier as a freshman, might be as a transfer as well</p>
<p>i actually have a similar question but for a different school. which is easier to transfer into at northeastern university- arts and sciences (economics major) or school of business? I'm taking both microeconomics and macroeconomics this up coming semester.</p>
<p>i just read on another forum the transfer rate is slightly better for mcdonough.....</p>
