Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi all,
Just finished my first semester at a top 20 LAC. I'm looking at the following schools:
Tufts, UPenn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Brown, Amherst</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7</p>

<p>SAT
M: 790
W: 720
CR: 740
Total: 2250</p>

<p>SAT IIs
Math 2c: 710
Lit: 730</p>

<p>Courses:
Calc II + 3 intro levels</p>

<p>Thoughts on my chances?
Thanks</p>

<p>First question: Did you get into any of these schools as a high school senior? If not, then your chances are a lower than they might otherwise be.</p>

<p>Second: Your stats are fine, but the 3.7 will resonate more if you're at a top 5 LAC than at #20, say.</p>

<p>Third: Transfer admissions are notoriously difficult, with acceptance rates in the single-digits for most of these types of schools.</p>

<p>Four: Have a safety transfer school you'd be happy to transfer to (unless you could deal with staying where you are).</p>

<p>Five: Good luck!</p>

<p>I agree with the above. </p>

<p>You have too many reaches and they are all extremely difficult to transfer to, even tufts.</p>

<p>For Tufts: Transfer Students
Total number of transfer students who applied: 737
Total number of transfer students who were admitted: 104</p>

<p>You need a safety if you are really desperate to leave. However, since this might be a move for prestige, I doubt you will try to put a safety on your list.</p>

<p>Very unlikely at: Brown, Amherst, Darthmouth, Upenn</p>

<p>Semi-Match: Cornell, Tufts</p>

<p>Tufts transfer admissions are harder than transfer admissions at many of those places, btw.</p>
