Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi there.</p>

<p>I'm not really sure yet if I'm serious about changing schools, this is just a hypothetical situation at this point.</p>

<p>Right now I'm at the Universty of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It's no Ivy, but it's still a respected school. I'm a freshman this year majoring in Political Science. My gpa last semester was 3.7 (could've been better though, I made some dumb mistakes and ended up with a few A-'s that could have been solid A's.) I should finish out this year in the 3.7-3.8ish range.</p>

<p>EC's so far- an environmental club, pre-law club, sorority, and I've just started volunteering about 10 hours a week.</p>

<p>I work 10 hours a week starting this semester.</p>

<p>My high school performance was not great- 3.4 unweighted gpa, 3.8 weighted. Top 24%. A bunch of honors and a few AP's. My competitive, private school didn't offer a lot of AP's.</p>

<p>I would transfer after sophomore year because I didn't apply anywhere for next year (remember this is still just an idea)</p>

<p>Realistically, what are my chances at transfering to Georgetown? I know it's a reach and I think if I just see a blatant "NO" I will get the idea out of my head.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Apparently they received over 1,500 transfer apps last year and accepted approx. 375. Your gpa is what their average gpa is but rank is a little lower. It looks like they look at a lot of other things also. If you really want to I would go ahead and try. If it doesn't work out, you are still at a very well respected school and will get an excellent education. Best of luck!</p>

<p>I didn't take the SAT- I'm in the midwest and knew I wouldn't need it to go to Illinois.</p>

<p>My ACT was 28</p>

<p>Im on the Dean's List here, if that helps.</p>
