Chances for a Transfer Student?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Elon University

<p>So here's my situation, I just finished up my first semester as a freshman at a small liberal arts college. During my senior year of high school, I applied to Elon for their regular decision deadline, got waitlisted, and then eventually accepted on terms that I'd do some abroad trip the first semester? Although Elon was my first choice and I was devastated, I didn't give much thought to the abroad offer since I had already decided on my current school. Now, I'm starting to re-think that decision..I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on my chances if I were to apply as a transfer?
High School:
Graduated top 20% at a large private school in NY.
SAT: CR(630) M(670) W(620)
ACT: 29
I think my high school average ended up being somewhere around 96.3? Not quite sure
Took all honors and 2 AP's senior year (French and Calc AB; didn't do well enough on AP tests to mean anything)
I was involved in a varsity sport and many clubs and activities in high school,although not really sure how this factors in as a transfer.
College:
Accounting major at a small liberal arts school in New England
3.71 gpa first semester
I'm on a club sport team and am involved in several clubs, nothing compared to my high school involvement though. </p>

<p>Thanks for any feedback! Don't want to get my hopes up again!</p>

<p>I assume that your talking about next fall because the deadline for Spring term was Dec 1st and everything after that is “space available”, and that just doesn’t happen. </p>

<p>I would think as long as you stay in contact with an admissions rep at Elon you will have an excellent chance to transfer in. You have an understanding and compelling case, so be sure that they know who you are beyond an application. </p>

<p>The great news is that the students at Elon appear to be as welcoming to new students as returning friends. </p>

<p>I hope that no matter what you decide you have a Great New Year. — Take Care</p>

<p>Yes, I’m sorry! I forgot to mention that this would be for the Fall 2013 semester! But thank you for your feedback! I think that I will get in touch with the transfer admissions advisor and let them know the situation. I dont want my previous “denial of acceptance” to affect my chances! Thank you and happy new year!!!</p>
