<p>WUSTL is an amazing school. I’m sure you have your reasons for wanting to transfer (I really hope it’s not for more prestige…that would be ridiculously pointless.) With that being said, the schools you have listed are intensely competitive for transfer. Especially Vassar with a 3% acceptance rate (the semester I applied 320 applied 10 admitted). Clearly your HS record is strong otherwise WUSTL would not have been an option. In terms of a capella group I personally don’t think it’s a disadvantage to your application. IT’S OK TO HAVE DIVERSE INTERESTS AND PASSIONS. I mean your only a freshman it’s not like your going to be able to a part of a major research team, so personally I think your fine without the typical pre-med ec’s for now. If you really want to transfer out of WUSTL and want to stay within the same tier of school you’re are going to have to wait at least 1,2, or 3 semesters at least to get your GPA up. I hope this was helpful and best of luck.</p>
