Georgetown Transfer

<p>I am currently a freshman at GWU in the College of Arts and Sciences intending to major in PoliSci/Government.</p>

<p>I have junior standing because of APs and went to an ultra-elite prep school in CA that sends 40% of graduating class to Top 15 USNWR schools.</p>

<p>My grades before Senior year were weak because I was foolish and was more concerned with my activities. I was editor of our newspaper and a co-captain of the lacrosse team.</p>

<p>Realizing that I couldn't get into my dream school Georgetown with my then current stats, I went all out and finished my Senior year with a 4.7 GPA (3.7 unweighted) in all AP classes that year.</p>

<p>I ended up on Georgetown's wait list, then their extended wait-list through the summer (which was comprised of less than 50 people). I am looking to transfer as a sophomore next fall.</p>

<p>My stats are as follows:</p>

<p>Final HS GPA: 3.85 weighted (11 APs)
SAT: 1550 (V+M, which is all GU considers)
SATII: 760 Math IIC, 730 History, 720 Eng Lit
Current/Expected University GPA: 3.6-3.8</p>

<p>I write for the newspaper at GW and am currently interning on Capitol Hill. I also pledged a fraternity. I am also in an honors pro seminar here that our professor claims to be doing "masters level work." He would be the one to write my recommendation.</p>

<p>I feel like GW is too party oriented and that there aren't enough serious students/classes outside of my pro seminar. The school is too pre-professional oriented, and kids are satisfied being second tier. Most don't care about schoolwork or pursuing gradschool.</p>

<p>Are my chances/reasons good for transferring?</p>
