<p>Anybody have any insight? Like, Columbia College to Elliot School, or vice versa?</p>
<p>My S switched from Columbia to the Elliot school. He was accepted into the Columbia and at the end of his freshman year applied and was accepted into the Elliot school to start the following fall. Spent his freshman year in the Columbia school and talked with his advisor about switching, lined up classes in order to do that, kept up his grade point and was successful.</p>
<p>its not very hard to transfer within schools. with Elliott you need a 3.0 after your first year and like the post above said your advisors will help you get your classes in order to make sure you're fulfilling Elliott requirements. For the Intro to International Affairs class, I believe Poli Sci 2 will count for that requirement. It works that way for many PSC and IAFF classes. transferring into Columbian or SEAS is easier from what I understand. I believe its something like a 2.7 gpa and the gcrs in Columbian are much more flexible. however if its SEAS you want then the requirements are much more stringent and you should see an advisor. I hope this helps.</p>
<p>depending on where you want to go, CCAS is the easiest to transfer into. transferring to Business (2.8 required) and Elliott (3.0 required) is mostly just paperwork unless you are falling under that required GPA. SEAS is dying for students, but has a difficult curriculum to match with CCAS. SMPA is the one program that is down right hard to enter which includes Journalism and the ever popular Poli Comm.</p>
<p>It's definitely not too difficult to get in. The hardest part like what was said above is filling out the paperwork and talking to advisors. The other part is getting the required classes in that most schools require their students to have when transferring in from another part of GW. You have to plan, and sign up for the right classes early if you plan to transfer.</p>
