<p>Hi guys, could anyone tell me what my general chances are of transferring.
Currently in my list I have the following places:
Georgetown
Brown
Cornell
Wash. U in St.Louis
Amherst College
Williams College
Bates College</p>
<p>HS stats:
*3.9 GPA
*Honors Society / Honors Program
*~150 community service hours
*~30 hours tutoring
*plenty of extracurriculars including community service clubs, poetry clubs, writing clubs...
*1720/2400 SAT </p>
<p>College stats:
*3.6 GPA
*Dean's List
*Summer internship in Yale
*current sophomore
*current bio / premed major
(applying for a bio major) </p>
<p>So what do you think? any help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thank you thank you thank you so much !</p>
<p>Are you applying as a freshman or sophomore? Your SAT’s are too low for Brown, Georgetown, and Cornell if you are applying as a freshman; everything to do with high school is weighted more heavily when applying with only one semester of college grades under your belt.</p>
<p>applying as a sophomore… =/</p>
<p>do you think it’s worth it retaking my sat ?</p>
<p>oh and forgot to add vanderbilt up there too :)</p>
<p>I think applying to Vanderbilt would be worthwhile to you. Based on everything I’ve seen they’re transfer friendly (roughly 50% acceptance rate). Just by asking around and sifting through past threads, it seems that a general GPA was around a 3.7 or higher, although I remember seeing applicants with much lower GPA’s that were accepted. With your bio/pre-health course load I think a 3.6 GPA would be very competitive. </p>
<p>I don’t think your SAT’s will matter as much with two years of college under your belt, and as long as you have decent letters of recommendation, a well thought out essay, and a few EC’s sprinkled in, you’ll likely be a competitive applicant for Vandy. I can’t speak for the other schools because I’m only planning to apply to Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>thanks for that 
vandy’s definitely one of my top choices.</p>
<p>yo be completely honest with you, even with your impressive gpa, i’d say all of those schools seem hard to get into even whilst transferring. i went through the wash u, brown, cornell, and georgetown apps personally as a senior and they were bad enough. id like to see a higher SAT (over 2000) before you apply to any of those schools. your liberal arts schools seem more tangible choices.</p>
