No Clue Where I Can Get Into!!!!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>It looks like I will most likely be transferring from the city school I am currently at, because they do not have the major that I am most interested in, Industrial Engineering. I will be applying as a sophomore to schools but I do not know how my high school stats will affect me.</p>

<p>I got a 3.5 GPA and a 1340 math+verbal on the SAT.</p>

<p>So far I have completed 2 college courses (3.8 GPA):</p>

<p>Micro Economics 101: A
Chem 101: A-</p>

<p>I am enrolled for:
Honors Calc I
Physics I
Foundations of Engineering I
Physics Lab</p>

<p>If I maintain a similar GPA as indicated by the 2 classes I have taken what types of schools can I realistically get into.</p>

<p>I was thinking:
George Tech
Virginia Tech
Ohio State (in state)</p>

<p>But would I have chances for Ivy league schools like Cornell, Upenn or Michigan? I usually wouldn't ask this sort of question but I honestly have no clue what my chances would be and if it would be worth apply.</p>

<p>Your status depends on how many credits you’ll have completed, so you’ll have to check those out individually.</p>

<p>Big public state schools are generally easier to transfer into, even if you are out of state. </p>

<p>Cornell is supposed to be pretty transfer-friendly. Upenn will be very, very hard (not that Cornell won’t, but it isn’t astronomically impossible).</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. I think Cornell would be the only Ivy I’d probably apply to if I was to even try it. I just wasn’t sure with a 3.5 from high school if I would even have a chance at “elite” schools, especially after just 1 year.</p>

<p>Bump. Anyone else know anything more about Cornell? how are the transfer rates for Engineering? I feel like there is something misleading about the stats generally seen.</p>
