Chance a transfer (Fall 2014 sophomore)?

<p>College GPA: 3.6 (1st semester Freshman)
High School GPA: 3.6W, 2.7UW (my high school has a bad habit of hyperinflating weighted grades)
ECs: student government both in high school and college, mock trial for the last 4 years
SATs (do they matter at this point?): 700 R, 610 M, 720 W (2030 superscore)
AP Scores (also not sure if they matter): 5 in AP Lit, 4 in AP Lang, 3s in Macro and World
Hook: African American male?
Essays: Likely going to be on changing as an individual and how Dickinson would be a better fit for me given how I've changed. I currently go to a school with a heavy pre-professional bend and I'm looking for a more intellectual atmosphere that can only be gotten at a LAC</p>

<p>Do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>I am a current student at Dickinson College and although I cannot comment on your stats because I am not sure what they look for in transfer stats (although yours seem impressive) I can tell you that your essay is what Dickinson looks for. You might also want to slip in a comment about their study abroad program because they are very proud of it.</p>

<p>Also, there seems to be increasing room in the class of 2017. We started with around 670 kids and we are down to 634, and that is only after the first semester. I have a feeling your application would be welcome with open arms. Goodluck! </p>

<p>I feel like you have a good chance. If they ask for SAT scores your math is a little low, but you have a hook. I think your chances are good. Good luck!</p>
