Notre Dame transfer chances?

Transfer Students

<p>Hi all,
I'm a freshman at West Chester University in PA. I decided to go there mainly because I am very young (16) and my mother was uncomfortable with the idea of sending me away so early. Anyway, it's a regionally well known public school, but certainly not where I would like to attend long term. I'm currently looking into other schools for next year (fall 2015), most notably Notre Dame (my mom has said she's ok with my leaving the nest at 17). What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>SAT: 2020</p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.9</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.835</p>

<p>College Transcript: French 201 (got an A), French 202 (A), Computer Science 110 (A-), Macroeconomics 111 (A-), Statistics 121 (A), Linguistics 230 (A-)
This fall I am scheduled to take: Russian 301 Advanced Grammar, Russian 403 20th Century Poetry, Geology 101, Political Science 213, and Intro to Calculus 110. I don't know what I'll take in the spring yet.</p>

<p>Majors: Double Major in Russian and Statistics with a Minor in International Business. Not sure what that would translate into at Notre Dame </p>

<p>Rec Letters: I'm pretty sure I could get a good recommendation from the director of the Russian department, who also happens to be my advisor. I haven't gotten a chance to get to know any of the other professors, but there will be time for that during this school year.
ECs: Ballet and raising seeing eye dogs</p>

<p>You are certainly a pretty good student. That being said, your SAT’s are on the low side, which may harm your chances. Also, take a look at the school’s transfer pre-req courses, even though I would say you’re taking pretty good classes. What I would recommend is looking into transferring as a junior so that your SAT doesn’t count as much, unless of course you re-take it and show improvement. I am in the process of transferring myself and Notre Dame is one of my target schools. Wish you the best of luck.</p>

<p>First, check to see if a school requires test scores. Many schools don’t for transfer students.</p>
