Hello, I am currently at FAU and i want to trasfer. I am a poli sci major and I am considering changing my major to INR instead (FAU doesn’t offer an INR major). I want a school with a very active community, that has a large political science/INR major, and does have activism on campus. I am currently thinking of applying to Vanderbilt, Barnard, UT Austin, and Tufts. I had a 4.2 GPA in high school(out of a 5.0), some pretty solid extra-curriculars, and I am currently doing well academically at school and have solid extra-curriculars. Despite this, I realize that transferring into any of the schools I stated is a very competitive process. Can anyone give me information on universities that have a less competitive admissions process that provide good academics, have a strong and active poli sci/ INR program, and a good school community?
Which public university in FL offers the major that you want - or at least a major that is pretty close to what you want? That would probably be your best “less competitive” option.
UGA
Check out Skidmore college! They have an IR + Poli Sci major and are competitive but not crazy. More of an artsy vibe/ pretty small if you are down for that. medium amount of activism on campus, but the academics are good. Maybe Oberlin?
let me also add that I am from out-of-state. I am a Texas resident, so I am not really looking to stay in FL
