Chance Me!

<p>Hello, I am a freshman and I am looking to transfer. I am looking at Tufts and Cornell right now, but am researching for other potential top schools that I could get into. I didn't do very well in high school, but I believe I have stepped up for college. I assume I will get similar grades my second semester of college, which is when I'll be transfering(During the summer I assume? I don't know much about it)</p>

<p>HS stats:
3.3-3.5 GPA UW
1790 SAT(I'm considering retaking)
EC's:
Big Brother Big Sister
Golf Team
Chess Club</p>

<p>College stats:
Pre-Med Math Major
3.92 GPA
EC's:
Vice president of cluster of dorms
Ski club</p>

<p>Any suggestions? Thanks!</p>

<p>I’m having trouble finding the edit button, but I’m also looking at University of Rochester</p>

<p>Your college GPA is excellent along with extracurricular activities. However you have only spent 1 semester in college (courses taken during freshmen year usually tend to be easier) so the schools you are applying to will weigh your high school record and SAT scores alot. I am not saying that your scores are horrible but I think you should spend at least 1 more semester and then apply. By doing this you will have at least 30 credits (assuming you a re a full-time student) and colleges can see that you are capable of handling college level work.</p>

<p>It does not hurt to apply now because I think you still have a good chance at tufts, rochester and even cornell but I think it is wise to postpone your transferring process.</p>

<p>I have just finished 3 semesters and I have been getting offers from RIT, Cornell, Tulane, and others!</p>

<p>I wasn’t aware I could transfer after just 1 semester! Is it too late to do that? My original plan was to stay one more semester, applying after the spring semester.</p>

<p>Like you said, is it harmless to apply now? Do you only get one chance? I’m a little clueless when it comes to transferring :P</p>
