<p>I'm a Junior in Engineering at Umass Amherst where our program in nationally
ranked as #40. I have junior status in Engineering and my advisor said a 2.9
as a junior in a top 50 engineering program is fairly respectable. Regardless I still want to transfer to another school. What are my chances at Wash U or Maryland college park.</p>
<p>2.9 is like B, what's wrong with that? is Amherst really hard? i know it's really tough to get in to but...</p>
<p>He said he goes to University of Massechusetts at Amherst, not Amherst College...I think you may have them confused Newbyreborn.</p>
<p>Its not particulary hard here it is just that with 18 credits of all math
and science courses it is hard to get that 3.5+ that most transfers have.
I want to get out of Mass; Maryland, Emory,and Wash U have the highest
transfer acceptance rates I've seen. Do Adcoms understand it is hard to get above a 3.0 in high level engineering courses.</p>
<p>Amherst college doesn't have engineering it is a LAC</p>
