Chance for Georgetown to UVA Transfer :D

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey all, I really appreciate your doing this. Any advice or commentary would be welcome. I just get a little worried about the whole process.
I desperately want to go to UVA, but I'm also applying (barring harsh criticism) UNC, Columbia, UChicago, & Cornell.</p>

<p>Also, I'll chance back (even though I'm a little unknowable about transfers).</p>

<p>So I go to Georgetown University, but I’m a physics-math double major. I was accepted to UVA as a freshman, but (because I’m stupid) decided not to go there. Georgetown physics is bad, especially for what I want to do (graduate work).</p>

<p>SAT
760 M
740 CR
710 W</p>

<p>HIGH SCHOOL</p>

<p>Academics
4.4 GPA (Effectively all A’s with a few B’s thrown in)
Large (600+) Public School. Top 5% of class.</p>

<p>14 AP Classes (Ones listed on Common app):
-Scores of 4: Lit, Spanish Lang
-Scores of 5: Physics C-Mech, Calculus BC, Macroecon, Microecon, US Gov, Comp Gov, US History</p>

<p>Extracurricular
Community Service (volunteering at hospital 2 years)
Volunteer for 2 statewide political campaigns
Student Campaign adviser to School Board Candidate

<p>Admittedly, high school EC’s aren’t that good. I doubt they’ll kill me though. College ones are better</p>
