<p>Chances? Thanks!</p>
<p>Edit:
-Gallatin: no more curriculum restraints, I can study what I what, when I want.
Cornell - ILR and not AEM because I browsed their course catalogue and student body, I could go into more detail but I like the ILR program better even though I heard it is 10x more rigorous.
-Columbia - Fu Foundation and not Economics because Economics has a ridiculously low acceptance rate, and they have a specific program I'm especially interested in.
BC+BU, I haven't looked into it but BC has a solid business program from what I've read, BU is just as good.</p>
<p>Actually act without is ok at BU and NYU as well since you are a transfer. i don't know about the others. Also NYU will not consider any scores from college and they take a strong stance on it.</p>
<p>Thanks ianjt. As much as I'd love to believe Gallatin is a definite, I've seen competitive applicants get rejected, but hopefully it's a go. I appreciate the info morgoth, but I'm going to send all of my scores everywhere; it can't hurt.</p>
<p>Jay, I am also applying to Gallatin. Your stats are slightly better than mine:</p>
<p>College - Boise State Honors
GPA - 3.81 over 31 credits
Currently taking 2 honors, 2 upper division classes and 1 upper division internship.</p>
<p>Ec's: BSU Writing Center Tutor, Honors College, SWIMBA trail reports, work experience.</p>
<p>Awards: Dean's list.</p>
<p>HS: 3.0 GPA, 1400/2400 SAT (yeah, tell me about it).</p>
<p>I know, validated by Gallatin's website, that they like strong writers. Make sure when writing your last short answer question, that you focus on why Gallatin's unique methods will help you--answering this way is mentioned as a requirement on the site. </p>
<p>Also, I have seen folks with 3.4 college gpa's accepted into Gallatin. I don't think they can make a decision solely on your academics. They are after particular people, not someone who misses the point. I think that a lot of over-qualified students apply and are rejected because they don't make point of how they will work as a Gallatin student.</p>
<p>Wow ianjt, that was very informative. I already knew about the heavy role that the application plays with Gallatin students, but you summed up all the extra points very nicely.</p>
<p>It'd be fun to meet up if we both got in 1 year from now. Good luck man.</p>
