<p>Transfer Student
GPA (3.73) 58 Credits (27 at a liberal arts college, 31 from a community college)
Can max my GPA out at a 3.83 if I get a 4.0 for the next 2 semesters. Planned 31 credits, easy classes (U.S History, Human Biology, Composition, etc) cause I've taken most of the higher level ones here in my majors and all of the liberal arts courses.
Applying for junior standing.

<p>Schools I'm trying to transfer to:
Northwestern
Rice
UVA
UNC
Cornell
Notre Dame
Georgetown</p>
<p>Just place a Y next to the school you think I have a good chance of getting into and an N next to the school you think I don't have a chance of getting into. And if you can, tell me what kind of SAT II scores I should aim for, particularly for Northwestern.</p>
<p>And please don't give me some snobbish attitude, I'm just trying to assess my future prospects, it's too early in the morning to deal with that kind of stuff :)</p>
<p>I admire your persistence. I, too, will be reapplying to some of the schools I applied to last year. Looks like I’m right there with you in the Cornell applicant pool (probably different colleges, though) English and History, huh? so I’m going to assume you’re trying for CAS…</p>
<p>I was a member of my first school’s varsity tennis team and have been playing on the local courts over the summer for the past 2 years because my community college doesn’t have a tennis team/club. (I’m not good enough to play at a high division I level, but it’s an extra curricular.)</p>
<p>I’m a member of my CC’s sociology club, philosophy club and table tennis club. The rest of my ECs were HS ECs. I have about 8 or 9 in total (HS and College)</p>
<p>I know they’re not particularly impressive, but I enjoy doing those things, especially tennis, I’d love to join the tennis club at my transfer school. My first school only had an enrollment of about 1900 undergrads and my CC is an inner city school with only 2500 students.</p>
<p>Thanks Lobzz, good luck to you too. I’m not too optimistic about Cornell CAS because I know how difficult it is to transfer in there, but I’m hoping I can get into Northwestern’s WCAS this time around. I have most of the distribution requirements fulfilled for NU (and will have all of them finished by next semester) so I can transfer in as junior if they admit me.
I think I’ll remove Notre Dame though because of the math requirement (2 math courses chosen from calculus, algebra-based statistics or finite mathematics). I care about my GPA way too much to risk taking one of those classes at my CC.</p>
<p>What’s life without dreams? Hopefully we can both get into some places we want to go to.</p>
<p>While it is definitely true that CAS is the (second?) most difficult school to transfer into, I’m sure completing the distribution requirements will make them look more favorably on you. Also, if I remember correctly, you applied last year- that can also help (Cornell wants it’s applicants to care about it :P) Either way, Northwestern is indubitably an excellent school that would take you a long way in your career.</p>
<p>To actually answer your question, life really is nothing without dreams. I’m sure we’ll both end up at places we’ll come to love.</p>
English and History, huh? so I’m going to assume you’re trying for CAS…</p>
