<p>Hey all, I'm currently a sophomore at George Washington interested in transferring to Notre Dame. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to chance me for transferring in Spring 2011.</p>

<p>Sex: Male
Perm. Residence: Northern Virginia (metro Washington, DC area)
Race: White, but will leave blank on application
Religion: Catholic
Current School: The George Washington University
College GPA: 3.55
Major: International Affairs
Credit hours completed: 38 (3 from AP)
Credit hours in progress: 16.5
HS GPA: 4.06 weighted. Top 5% of my class
SAT: 1470/1600, 2180/2400
Activities:
-Army ROTC cadet on 4-year, full-tuition scholarship. One of the top cadets in my battalion in quantitative categories such as GPA, physical fitness scores, and military science grades. I plan on continuing this at ND
-Knights of Columbus
-Interned last summer in the political action department the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Will be able to get a letter of recommendation signed by the president of the union.
-Spent each of the last 5 summers (with the exception of the most recent one due to my internship) working on dilapidated/damaged homes in North Carolina for the poor and elderly.</p>

<p>I was accepted to ND as a rising freshman but for some reason chose to go to GW instead. Wish I could take that back but this is the next best thing.</p>

<p>I know my GPA, while good, doesn't exactly jump off the page. Would the fact that I do ROTC (an almost 20 hr/week commitment) while taking 17.5 credits both semesters last year help improve the perception of my 3.55 GPA?</p>

<p>Applications for students intending to transfer into Notre Dame in Spring 2011 were due three days ago…so you might have to set your sights on transferring for Fall 2011 instead.</p>

<p>That being said, my advice is to get in touch with the Admissions Office ASAP and see what can be done. You can call them at (574) 631-7505, or email them at <a href=“mailto:transfer@nd.edu”>transfer@nd.edu</a>.</p>

<p>Also, while things like GPA, extracurriculars and so on are important, Notre Dame also has very specific requirements for incoming transfer students, based on your major – if you’re continuing as international studies, you want to look at the College of Arts and Letters to ensure that you meet the requirements: [College</a> of Arts and Letters // Admissions // University of Notre Dame](<a href=“http://admissions.nd.edu/admission-and-application/transfer-students/evaluation-guides/college-of-arts-and-letters-transfer-student-evaluation-guide/]College”>http://admissions.nd.edu/admission-and-application/transfer-students/evaluation-guides/college-of-arts-and-letters-transfer-student-evaluation-guide/)</p>

<p>Also, I have no idea how transferring ROTC battalions works, but that’s likely something you should look into as well. Perhaps touching base with the ND ROTC commanders will help you. [Home</a> of ND ROTC](<a href=“http://www.nd.edu/~army/]Home”>Army ROTC | University of Notre Dame)</p>

<p>Hope this helps. Please let me know how the conversation with the Admissions Office goes.</p>
