<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am currently a female freshman at the University of Connecticut, however by credit hours I am technically a sophomore. My current cumulative GPA is a 3.65. My program of study is Molecular and Cell Biology with a minor is Neurobiology. I am historian and community service chair for my co-ed fraternity. I have volunteer hours and am planning on pursuing an MD/PhD program post undergrad. What are my chances of transferring to any of these schools for junior year? (I am planning to have my cumulative GPA be up to a 3.75)</p>

<p>NYU
Wash. U in St. Louis
Carnegie Mellon
UVA
University if Michigan Ann Arbor
UNC Chapel Hill
J. Hopkins
Northwestern
Tufts
Chicago
Yale
U. Penn</p>

<p>Thank you!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>With a 3.75 I would say you have a decent shot at UVA, Michigan, UNC, and Carnegie Mellon.</p>

<p>I’d go ahead and cross Yale off that list unless any of your nuclear family has walked its halls; it’s just not worth the fees.</p>

<p>Just wondering, but do you mean to say that the schools you mentioned don’t put much weight on SAT scores? The OP didn’t list any scores so I figured you based your opinion only on the GPA.</p>

<p>I wanted to clarify since I will be applying for transfer to each of the schools you listed.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>if you don’t mind me asking why do you want to transfer out of UCONN?</p>

<p>I didn’t post my SAT scores because most colleges accepting transfers in their junior year don’t require them to be sent…although im sure some do.</p>

<p>I’m looking to transfer from Uconn because initially i was accepted into alot of these schools, I settled for my safety school and I am not at all challenged here and that leads to me being REALLY lazy…If I’m not challenged I slack off…and thats bad for an aspiring med student!
Uconn is a great school and I love being here…I just am looking for a better academic experience.</p>

<p>I’m just going by OP’s GPA. And like she said, many schools won’t even want to see her SAT scores.</p>

<p>UConn just seems like a fun school to me. I’ve heard its one of the best publics, not to mention their sports are unbelievable. </p>

<p>Your stats are fantastic, especially given that you’re into cell/molecular biology. Those classes can’t be easy.</p>
