Hello, I have applied to transfer as a sophomore computer science major for fall of 2015 to Northeastern and Boston University, from UMass Amherst. I’m currently awaiting decisions and looking to see what I should expect.
Here are my stats:
HIGH SCHOOL
GPA: 3.7878
SAT: 1920
National Honor Society (Jr-Sr), National Art Honor Society (Jr-Sr), Wildlife Club (Fr-Sr): President (Jr-Sr), Varsity Gymnastics (Fr-Sr), Job- Gymnastics Instructor (Fr-Sr), Club USAG Gymnastics (Fr-Sr), Church Volunteer (So-Sr)
COLLEGE:
GPA: 3.825 (16 credits)
Current Courses: Computer Science Data Structures, Calc 2 for Science Majors/Engineers, Psych 100, Honors 291A
Current Estimated GPA: 3.7
Member of the Commonwealth Honors College, Computer Science Women’s Group
HOOKS:
Divorced parents, girl in computer science, adopted, minority, low family income.
Thanks!
probably will get into all of them - a little on the edge for Northeastern though just because they dont like low income applicants that cant pay alot
UMass-Accepted
Northeastern-Accepted
BU-Match (50% chance of acceptance)
You look like you’re in the top 50-75% range of applicants and have a really good shot at being accepted to all of those schools. Your last line about your hooks and such will definitely help you as well and make sure you check for scholarships that you qualify for because of being adopted, a girl in computer science, etc. good luck! and if you could chance me back I’d really appreciate it!

I’d say that you’ll transfer in to all the colleges on your list. I agree that you have good hooks and you’ve demonstrated already that your effective in a college environment. Make sure you consult with colleges about financial aid. If they really want you, then they should be willing to help.
