Major transfer to UD

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Delaware

<p>I would be transferring as a Political Science major from a CC (two years of college credits will be completed by the time of transfer)this coming Fall 2011. I have a 3.0 GPA with an "A" in Intro to Politics and a "B" in American Federal Government class. I have two recommendation letters from a head psychology professor and doctor in Philadelphia and another letter from my township's Mayor. I did internship with our assemblyman this past summer and added all of this to my essay and application. </p>

<p>What would my chances be as a transfer student? I'm not sure if Political Science is a high- demand field at UD that would make my chances much harder. From UD's website the transfer minimum into political science is a 2.0GPA. Any opinions or comments? Thanks.</p>

<p>I know someone who just transferred in for the current Spring Semester from a small college he was unhappy in. He had completed 3 semesters and also is a Political Science major. He actually missed the deadline for Spring '11 applicants but they had room and accepted him. His stats, I believe, are similar to yours. He does have a brother who is currently a student at UDel but I have no idea if that makes a difference.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a decent shot at it. Just try to keep your current semester’s grades up there. I don’t think Political Science is considered high demand, given they had room at the last minute.</p>
