Georgetown, UIUC, UNC, UCLA...

<p>UMich, UFlorida, NYU</p>

<p>I currently go to UCF in Florida, not a great school and I want to transfer somewhere else. My stats are</p>

<p>3.85 GPA ( 48 credits )
1400/1600 2120/2400 SAT 10 essay
Good solid essays
EC: youth pastor, clubs, part time job
Most, if not all pre-reqs will be completed for the majority of the schools.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances would be?</p>

<p>finance/economics major</p>

<p>You have a great chance at all of those places.</p>

<p>sure are alot of finance/economics majors on CC.
Hopefully you knew that Toby Crabel was a finance major at UCF?</p>

<p>You seem competitive- I could totally picture you getting accepted to those three schools.</p>

<p>Check your pm.</p>

<p>Oh I just noticed the other 4 schools in your title. My guess, for fun, is...</p>

<p>Georgetown: (either way...)50/50
UIUC: in
UNC: (either way...most likely in)60/40
UCLA: (most likely not in)30/70*
UMich: (most likely in)70/30
UFlorida: in
NYU: (either way...)50/50 <-college (don't know much about Stern transfer)</p>

<p>*I believe UCLA OOS is v.low, around 10-11%?</p>

<p>That's not the case for transfer. He's a slight reach at worst.</p>

<p>thanks for all replies</p>

<p>I think that once you reach a certain "potential status" (meaning high GPA, good recs, extra-curriculars) it really comes down to presenting your accomplishments well. I truly believe that after you have the stats, and you seem to, the transfer admission game is just an essay-writing contest.</p>

<p>Actually foxdie is correct. Here are the transfer stats for UCLA for Fall '06: <a href="http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/Adm_tr/Tr_Prof06.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Unfortunately, it's pretty tough to transfer to UCLA from oos, especially as an econ major for which the average transfer gpa is roughly a 3.8. You have a pretty decent shot though...I'd actually be surprised if you didn't at least get into the other schools you listed. Good luck!</p>
