Common on! Transfer to Emory

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi.
I am a Korean male and Georgia resident.
I am currently attending Georgia Tech and majoring in Business.
But I am thinking about transferring to Emory because I just found out that my true interest is in history/economics which Emory has as a joint major.
I guess this 'major issue' is good enough to give me a reason to transfer to Emory.
In addition to the major, Emory is attractive to me becasue of the Carter Center. After college, I am certain that I will study International Relations. I think that the Carter Center would help me to understand more about international issues in some ways. </p>

<p>Ok,
College
Current GPA: 3.2 (I know it's low)
Probably decent recommendation</p>

<p>High School
SAT I: 1400/1600, 2020/2400
SAT II: Math I 740, US 610, World 740
GPA: 3.7 unweighted
Rank: 22/456
Few awards/clubs </p>

<p>P.S.
Is being a male and Georgia resident helpful?
Is it better to apply for Fall or Spring? (I think that I would have a better chance in Spring)</p>

<p>As Emory is a private school, the understanding is that they do not show in-state preference. However, with regards to your GPA, though it is a bit low, Emory is certainly aware of GA Tech's harsh grade deflation and will take that into account.</p>

<p>Is there really GA Tech's harsh grade deflation?
My friends keep telling me about it, but I thought they just defend themselves from not getting good grades.</p>
