<p>I'm a freshman Physics Major at USC (southern california) with a current gpa of 3.93, but an estimated entire first-year gpa of about 3.66 (based on midterms). My first choice when I applied to colleges in high school was UVa, but I was wait-listed/denied. I had an SAT score of 1970 and a gpa of 3.9 in high school.
I still think I really want to go to UVa since it definitely fits my personality more than USC does, and I was wondering about the chances and/or repercussions of transferring there. My physics professor is a UVa alumnus so I'm going to talk with him after my spring break about the differences in programs and whatnot. Can anybody else please give me insight as to the chances (and how I might increase them) and repercussions of acceptance as a transfer student to UVa? Also, would it be better to transfer as a second semester sophomore or as a junior? Anything is appreciated.</p>
<p>Also:
I am no longer a Virginia resident, so I'm guessing that will have a bearing on my chances of acceptance.</p>
