<p>I'm currently attending a university ranked around 100 in most lists, and I would really like to try to attend a more academically rigorous institution... Haverford would be ideal for me, I think. It's near home for me, and I really like everything about it that I know. I know how difficult it is to get into Haverford as a transfer student, as their acceptance rate for transfers is under 5% some years, but I was just wondering what else I might need to help my chances?</p>
<ul>
<li>I was homeschooled throughout highschool and had a 4.0 GPA (graded by a homeschooling agency so it's not just, like, "Hey, Mom! Can I have a 4.0?" "Sure, sweetie!" haha)</li>
<li>Got a 2000 on the SATs</li>
<li>I'm only a freshman in college, but so far I have a GPA there of around 3.6-3.7 I'd say</li>
<li>Possibly relevant to admissions I play for the varsity tennis team at the school I'm at which is D1</li>
<li>I'm in the honors college of the school I'm at now, so that might help, too?</li>
</ul>
<p>Obviously my GPA could be a little higher, but do you think that there's anything glaringly in my way of possibly transferring to Haverford/is there anything I could maybe do to help my chances? Thanks a lot!</p>
