Dartmouth Transfer Chances..

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a freshmen at the University of Pennsylvania, and I have come to realize that the city life, among other things, is just not for me. I am going to try to make it work, but I feel I should look at other options:</p>

<p>Major at Penn: Bioengineering (which I would want to continue at Dartmouth)
GPA First Semester: 3.71
High School GPA: 97/100 (High School Valedictorian)
SAT I: 1550/2310
SAT II: 800, 800, 760 (Math II, European History, Biology)
EC: A lot of stuff for high school, (SGA, sports, lots of leadership); less for college but a few</p>

<p>I did not apply to Dartmouth senior year.</p>

<p>Any chances and/or advice would be greatly appreciated? I am not really sure how I should be approaching this whole "transfer process"?</p>

<p>Anyone.....</p>

<p>I would say you definitely have a shot at acceptance to Dartmouth. I can't exactly put a number on your chances, but I would say you're well qualified and very competitive. Why exactly Dartmouth, though?</p>

<p>Best of luck. I think you'll be fine with strong essays.</p>

<p>hmm....your college gpa is a bit lower than most acceptances to dartmouth in recent years...you'll have a shot, but with dartmouth's acceptance rate if you seriously want out of u penn you may want to put some other schools on your list</p>

<p>If you want out of the city and want to do engineering, why not Cornell?</p>

6

<p>Yeah, definitely try Cornell, too. What's wrong with Philadelphia? Why don't you like the city/ urban environment?</p>

<p>I wanted somewhere smaller, I very familiar with Cornell however.</p>

<p>As far as I know, if you really want to major in engineering, dartmouth might not be a very good choice, i mean the engineering rank is not as good as other popular majors in dartmouth. what about Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering? 14 miles from boston and should be a quite place to study. :)
and you will have a shot for dartmouth. but would make your ECs more specific? lots of ECs might give you positive feedback but you have to have somehow "concentration"</p>

<p>You should consider Johns Hopkins and UC Berkeley too.</p>

<p>^JHU is also the city. You may want to consider Duke, Tufts, Bucknell, Lehigh too.</p>
