Georgetown Transfer Help!

<p>Anyone have experience with transferring to Georgetown? Do you have any tips for courses to take, essays, or the process in general?</p>

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I transferred to Georgetown this Fall into the business school. Feel free to email me with any questions. </p>

<p>Hi Nick,
I will apply for transfer into MSB as an junior.
Can you provide your details?
I am thinking about retake SAT in January but not sure should I do that or not.
My sat was 470/800/550 =1820, which was pretty bad.</p>

<p>I’m originally from the midwest and didn’t take the SAT. My ACT was 32-33 I believe. In terms of GPA, I had a cumulative 3.58 for my 2 years in college. After talking to a lot of other transfers, most people seem to have 3.8-4.0’s. I was unique in terms of the school I was transferring from which probably gave me an edge and made up for the low GPA. </p>

<p>From what I understand your last 2 years in college are a lot more significant than SAT scores at this point.</p>

<p>@Nick,</p>

<p>Can I ask what school you transferred from? And if you could chance me?</p>

<p>Either applying to the college or MSB:
High School GPA: 3.63 Unweighted
College GPA: 4.0 (after one quarter at UC Davis)</p>

<p>High School Extracurriculars:

  • Varsity Swim Captain
  • Co-president of two philanthropic clubs
  • Participated in the dance program for 2 years
  • Head of a tutoring program for underprivileged middle school students
  • and some other ones too… </p>

<p>College extracurriculars:

  • Writer for the UCD Newspaper
  • Member of the UCD Economics and Business Student Association
  • 1 philanthropic club</p>

<p>I also attended Georgetown’s summer business program in 2012
I applied 2012 Fall for first-year admissions and was rejected</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
