Bob Evans Waiter
Possible EE Internship This summer</p>
<p>I want to transfer cause I dont like most of the teachers at this school, I dont like the grading system, and I feel like most of the students here aren't serious about their education. Also, the weather sucks butt.</p>
<p>Possible?
Georgia Tech, University of MD, Johns Hopkins, Villanova, Carnegie Melon, University of Illinois, Purdue.</p>
<p>I realize that most if not all of these are far stretches, so if not these, any suggestions?</p>
<p>Your grades are just too low, even for an engineering major, to really be able to transfer to any of those places, with the possible exceptions of Maryland and Villanova. Those would be long reaches, but they wouldn’t be impossible. If you really want to leave, what you should do is apply to the state school of wherever you’re a resident. If that’s Ohio, then that would be Ohio State or Miami University (the one in Oxford, OH, not Coral Gables, FL). As an in stater you might have shot at those places, or wherever it is that you happen to have in state status. If you want to stay in Ohio, the University of Cincinnati also has a decent engineering program. If the weather is a big issue, you might also have a shot at a few programs in the South and Southwest like Arizona State, Auburn, and the University of Miami (the one that is in Coral Gables, FL), though those still might be long shots as well. Sorry if this disappoints you, but your grades and standardized test scores are really too low for the other places you’re interested in.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply tsakash, I am not dissapointed and I appreciate you being realistic, Miami University is a good suggestion, I may look into that school.</p>
<p>I don’t know I wouldn’t put UIUC and Purdue as such long reaches. The acceptance rates are high (comparatively). I would say John’s Hopkins and Carnegie Melon are reaches. Georgia Tech would probably be a slight reach.</p>
<p>^ My understanding is that the acceptance rate to UIUC and Purdue’s engineering programs, particularly for out of state transfers, is lower than for the other parts of those universities. They may be very log reaches. Chocolatealtoids, I really hope that you do end up getting into some of those places. Glad that you’re taking this well, and again I hope that one of these places does pan out for you.</p>
