<p>I also posted this in the WILL I GET IN section. This is probably more appropriate though.
Hi, I am a white male attempting to transfer from Goucher College to a more prestigious school. I was wondering what my chances are. In high school my GPA was not very impressive. I had a 3.4 with about 4 AP's and a 1270 combined SAT. I also had a 670 SAT 2 English and a 740 SAT 2. In college I have done well. I have a 3.7 something GPA. (I am a freshman) With 3 A-s and an A. I am the head fundraiser for the Goucher Democrats. I am part of the literary magazine and the school newspaper. I have been very active with community service. I have gone on a work study program in cuba and I have worked for three years with an autistic child. I play for a club sports team. I have a good essay and really good teacher recs. My mother went to Wash U and I was wondering if it was a huge stretch to even apply there? My other question is, and this is pretty general, is it harder to transfer to an elite school or get in as a high schooler? Do they look at your college grades or your high school grades more? I am also wondering what some other good liberal arts schools in my range would be. I am looking for a school with 2-5 thousand students. I am very interested in political science. I was wondering if anyone could help me out on what good poli sci schools would be. Thanks a lot</p>
