<p>Hello!</p>
<p>As the first semester of my college career is coming to a close I was wondering if anyone could chance me for the following schools for a possible transfer above.</p>
<p>I'll be finishing with a 3.6 GPA this semester.
High school had an overall GPA of 3.75
I did quite poorly on ACT test at the time there was too much going on in my life to reschedule and received a score of 23</p>
<p>Countless extracurricular/clubs in high school including:</p>
<p>Executive President of the class, Captain of 2 different academic competitions, health careers, Year book editor and chief, Model UN, Health Careers, Played football for 3 years. EMT Certified. Fluent in 3 languages.</p>
<p>I've also aided in research with a Psychiatrist with a publication.</p>
<p>During my first semester at college I created and founded an EMT club.</p>
<p>Any input is appreciated! Let me know if any are too far of a reach or add some schools that would be more of a match.</p>
<p>I look forward to hearing from those of you. </p>
Where did you attend your first semester?
I attended Allegheny College on a full ride, but i’m not very content with the overall college experience.
I think you’re a very good canidate for Lehigh, pitt, uconn, su. That being said uva and roch are a slight stretch but could still happen. Best of luck!
Thank you for the feedback, is the possibility of receiving good aid scarce in my position as well?
It all depends, if you qualify for need based aid you will likely receive it from Lehigh and roch maybe su due to them meeting most people’s needs the others I don’t see you getting much other than pitt…not sure how being a transfer will affect this but I have heard it’s harder to get money as a transfer
What about Bucknell or villanova transfer?
Bucknell I could see you getting some money not a lot but Villanova is known for being rather difficult with finanacial aid
will a 3.6 at Allegheny make these schools sit up and pay attention? - that is the first question
will it counteract the 23 on the ACT
Do you want need based aid? and how do the schools handle it with transfers?
UVA, Roch, Bucknell.Lehigh all seem like long shots - how many transfers did they take last year and were they all superstars?
Syracuse/Villanova? - possibly
Pitt/UConn - more likely
check the common data sets for transfer info and run the expected financial contribution calculators on each web site
were you waitlisted at any of these schools last year?
Do you need to fill out the entire application again? How does that work? Do you get recs from new college profs? What did you do in college that changes their high school perspective of you?
Just throwing ideas out there
