<p>as a transfer…</p>

<p>I’m possibly looking to transfer out of my current school. In high school, I had 4.29 GPA with a 1270 on my SATs and a 700, 690, and a 520 on my SAT IIs. I took 14 honors classes and 5 APs with 2 4s and a 3 on 3 out of 5 exams. I was a member of class government for 3 years, Model UN for 4 years (Under secretary general senior year), assistant editor of the yearbook, and National Honor Society secretary. My GPA this semester is a 3.16 but I currently am a freshman at Wellesley. Do you think I have a chance?</p>

<p>here is an email from the transfer admissions:</p>

<p>"We actually don’t have statistical information for publication; I can tell you that we typically have 1200-1500 transfer applicants applying for fall semesters.</p>

<p>We don’t’ keep a % of how many are accepted vs. rejected, but the class that accepts to come is usually around 250-260. We don’t have any type of “cut-off” guidelines, as all applications are reviewed.</p>

<p>The “average” GPA for our transfer students that started fall 2005 was 3.5 “average” SAT were 1250 Please keep in mind that this was an average.</p>

<p>The Board of Admissions will look very closely at all college work as well as the last few years of high school.</p>

<p>High School transcripts are needed to also prove that the student did in fact graduate.</p>

<p>Thank you,"</p>

<p>hope that helps.</p>
