<p>well school is paying for it... i took a bunch of practice tests and did well on them...i'll probably just not send my scores to colleges, i think i'll just retake those classes.</p>
<p>ok everyone is saying that to transfer to a good school (ivy league) u just need a 4.0 gpa in college...are there anything else? i know the ecc's are also important but if i take 5 classes next year i dont think i will have time to do any ecc's ?</p>
<p>no that's not the case at all. A 4.0 in college doesn't guarantee you acceptance to WashU (read the first post of this thread), much less an ivy. </p>
<p>ECs are important. Your story is important: try to be unique. It may come naturally due to your life, but if not, try not to be just another guy wanting to transfer up.</p>
<p>i mean i dont do ecc's just that it'll look good on my application. i was actually involved in activities in hs that i liked... for ex, i was in the soccer team and it seems that im not going to play soccer in college since it'll take a lot of my time ... and on top of that i'll be studying a lot for those 4 or 5 classes especially if im taking an english class.</p>
<p>*still confused: sat or act? u said act is better since they dont show the history of past scores but do colleges want u to take the sat more than act? or the same?</p>
<p>My suggestion for you ergin, as a fellow int'l student, is find a good mentor while you are in college. That person can be your advisor or one of your professors. Be able to communicate with that person with what your goals are and what your plan for the future. When you need a recommendation, they will be the best people to ask for a letter. It doesn't matter how high your GPA or test scores (although it does it a lot), if you are able to convince those who write your rec letters that you are willing to challenge yourself with a def. goal in mind, you will probably get in WashU.</p>
<p>yea i guess the best idea is to find an advisor...thanks for the help.</p>
<p>According to the WashU website, scores from standardized tests taken while in college are inadmissible.</p>
<p>I got in with a 1300/2020. They aren't that significant. The most important parts of my app were my 3.9 from a top 25 LAC and my essay.</p>
<p>i don't get it. i got rejected too. i applied last year(high school) and was waitlisted, showed a lot of interest by sending additional material..but was not taken off the list. this year, i had better grades, and i thought i had gotten better overall...but i guess not. this time around, i didn't even get the waitlist. i have no idea why.</p>
<p>what is the acceptance rate to washington university, transfer? The</p>
<p>threads here seem to have me conclude that many universities are too</p>
<p>competitive.</p>
<p>acceptance rate last year was 25% so it'll probably be between 20-25% this year.</p>
<p>I know this is about two months late, so I apologise for the necropost. But I have been dreaming about WashU since I was seventeen -- I'll be twenty in about two months.</p>
<p>I am actually shocked to hear you were rejected, but I give you kudos for being able to admit that. You have some strong stats and should be quite proud with what you've got. Keep applying.</p>
<p>This honestly makes me worried. My education since childhood has been rocky, and although everyone keeps telling me it's unique and WashU will understand, they rejected me as an undergrad when I applied. I was shattered. But in retrospect I was afraid to mention such pertinent information.</p>
<p>When I was a kid, I had an accident which led to head trauma where I forgot how to walk, talk, etc -- and spent about six months out of junior high trying to regain those abilities, and was not tutored in the process. Which made me give up on school work altogether. I attended a vocational high school where I was trained in theatre (which is what I want to continue studying at WashU) where the academics were less than stellar. I was in AP everything and the highest math they offered was Geometry.</p>
<p>Also, I freaked on the SAT -- all three times I took it. I barely got above 1000. 1010, seriously. And I know I'm not stupid and I could do loads better than that. I know I could. I mean, all of my other standardized test scores are through the roof. I somehow just panicked during that particular test. Three times.</p>
<p>I did manage a 3.9 in high school and am in the top 8% of the class, but with courses so easy, how can you not? With one semester of community college under my belt, I have a shaky 3.0, which I plan on raising before I apply.</p>
<p>What I gathered from the site was that no high school information was needed if applying as a transfer. Maybe I should talk to an admissions counselor and go by whatever they tell me. Because I was planning on showing them I was a turnaround student. The person pushing me to apply most went to WashU on a full scholarship, but maybe I'm getting my hopes up.</p>
<p>I just don't want to apply and get rejected again. Perhaps I shouldn't reapply and give up on college altogether.</p>
<p>Your high school transcript and a rec from your HS counselor will be required. You can apply now, but with a 3.0 from a CC there is a very strong chance that you'll be rejected. It says on their website that the recommended minimum GPA for someone from a CC is a 3.5. You should be sure to mention the things you've posted above as they are important and helpful.</p>
<p>I, along with quite a few others on this forum, was admitted to WashU as a transfer this year. If you have any questions I'd be glad to help.</p>
<p>Dear, brand_182, </p>
<p>This is goldcoast. Congrads on your wesleyan acceptance. I am an applicant</p>
<p>to washington as a transfer. My gpa at cc was 4.0 this semester and </p>
<p>I have a 3.6 from loyola which I felt was not for me. I have total about</p>
<p>3.7 gpa, do you or anyone think this is enough for washington.</p>
<p>I think the upward trend is good and that yes, you'll have an ok shot. Other factors are important too so I can't really gauge whether I think you've got a great shot, but you're within range.</p>
