<p>I'm about to attend a Penn State branch campus for my freshman year. I'd like to ppossibly transfer to one of these schools for engineering and/or business. Kinda didn't care much in high school which is coming back to haunt me.</p>
<p>GPA UW: 3.6 (The grading scale was weird. 96-100 was an A, 94-95 was A-, 91-92 B+, 87-89 B, 85-86 B-)
SAT: Math 650, Reading 560, Writing 630)
Extracurriculars: Math Team, Academic Team, Debate Team, Gifted Program, 3 yr letterman in football, 2 yr in basketball)</p>
<p>I understand I'll have to have an outstanding freshman year to be able to transfer. I just wish I could let the school know that they would not be disappointed if they let me in because I truly am ready to bust my butt. Any chance?</p>
<p>Nobody can chance you as a transfer when you haven’t even started your freshman year yet. Best advice I can give you is to get a 3.8+ every semester. That should put you in good shape.</p>
<p>Also, for UMich engineering you need to have completed the calc sequence, diff eq, and physics I and II. So, depending where you are in your math career, you might not even be able to transfer to UMich after only 2 semesters. You might need 3 or 4 semesters to complete all of the prereqs required to transfer there. Just something to think about.</p>
<p>UT, on the other hand, is much less strict in that regard.</p>
