Official University of Richmond transfer fall of 2013 thread!!!

<p>I am applying to University of Richmond as a sophomore . got a 3.6 first semester and will probably about a 3.8 second semester at a 4 year public university when i submit the midterm reports got an 1810 on the SAT including a 700 on reading, 780 U.S History and 800 on World History for my SAT II but i am concerned about my high school record barely got a 3.0 in the two years of high school but i did take 11 AP/IB in those two years at the 75th best high school in the country .Also have some E.C including working at the Democratic National Convention, and as a interning for the Governor of MA also a URM ...... anyone ready to apply ? What are you stats? Any tips from previous transfers?</p>

<p>Depending on how competitive your current university is, and whether or not you sustain a 3.6 gpa overall, you should be fine. I just transferred from a 4-year public with a 3.54 gpa, and had lower SAT scores than you. Get Good recs and write decent essays and you’ll be in.</p>

<p>got in !!! to any one reading this next year !!!For any one who got denied for freshmen admission or didn’t have a chance in hell (like me ) but wanted to apply;take courage if you do decently like a 3.4 or 3.5 first semster freshmen year you will be in transfer … it really is a backdoor to Richmond! Good luck to all! pm if u have any questions:)</p>

Hey guys,

I am currently a rising college sophomore looking to send out an application to richmond for the spring 2017 semester. I finished my freshman year with exactly a 3.5 gpa. My high school grades are a bit lower then this (3.3 freshman, sophmore, junior and a 3.0 senior year) but I have done plentiful extracurriculars both in my high school years and my freshman year at college. my sat score for CR/Math is a 1160 but I don’t think I am going to send that lower score in. I am extremely active in campus ministry at my college, I drive the vans to get students to community service at off campus locations and also am employed as a student worker for them. During my freshman year of college I was also a part of our schools business and management club, residence hall committee, and have voulenteered at several on campus events. also I played varsity soccer and tennis during my high school years while having a steady 15 hour per week job during the academic year and a 30 hour per week job in the summer. What are my chances of being accepted to richmond as a spring transfer student? Should I stick out another full year to try and bring my grades up more? Or should I apply as a spring applicant being that I hear it is typically slightly easier to get in as a spring transfer student. Thanks for all of your help.
