<p>I am currently a rising Sophomore at a top 20 university, and am considering making another effort to transfer. I currently have a 3.6 GPA at my school, and have leadership positions in many organizations on campus.</p>
<p>I applied to Georgetown last spring for admission for the upcoming fall semester, but was rejected. I was quite surprised by this, but figured that I could be have been because I took a very light course-load first semester Freshman year (I dropped a language after a few weeks, but was unable to get into another class, so I ended up only having 3 classes).</p>
<p>What I am wondering is if it makes sense to apply to Georgetown again, and also if anybody thinks that I have a chance to be admitted to the University of Virginia for either the spring semester or the following fall semester. Unfortunately, I am from Maryland, making UVA much more difficult.</p>
<p>Furthermore, does anyone know if it is at all easier to transfer in as a Junior than as a Sophomore?</p>
<p>I don't think it's easier to transfer as a junior v. a sophomore. I figure it's probably about the same (though I'm sure someone else can clarify this) however I do think it shows that you are still dedicated and interested in the school if you apply again. It certainly won't harm your chances</p>
<p>actually, from what i've been reading around on the boards, it all depends on whether you have strong HS stats. If your HS stats are good, then transferring as a soph (with good college GPA of course) won't be hard. On the other hand, if you have bad HS stats, then applying as a junior transfer might be beneficial because less weight is placed on the high school record.</p>
