<p>I am a sophomore at a university in Minnesota. I want to transfer to a university that has better facilities and is well known around the world. </p>
<p>My information:
Age- 18
Major - Mechanical Engineering
University - 4 year (ABET approved) </p>
<p>Grades and extracurricular activities: High school - Private (3.3 GPA over four years). SAT score - 1060/1600 (one try, took it 2 years ago)
- President of two councils
- A few scholarly awards
- 12 Model united nations awards and certificates
- Sports and leadership awards for Soccer and Basketball
- Very good recommendation letters University: Freshman year - 3.54GPA [Fall semester] and 3.8GPA [Spring semester]
- Part of two committees on the student government
- Organized various events on the student events committee
- Floor president for the residence hall Sophomore year - 3.83GPA [Fall semester] and my spring semester is yet to begin
- Community advisor for the residence hall
- Adviser for the freshman learning communities
- President of one council on the student government</p>
<p>I want to apply to 6-7 universities. I need some guidance on where I should be applying and some advice on how to transfer. Please give me a few suggestions.</p>
<p>Well, the main reason I am attending the university that I am currently was to save money. There is no budget. My parents are willing to pay as much as needed. No sarcasm or boasting intended.</p>
<p>If those are your grades in college Engineering classes, I should think you would be welcomed into most of the top 30 engineering programs in the country… let’s say USNWR Universities ranked 30-100. Georgia Tech, etc.</p>
<p>I have taken Intro to engineering, Chemistry 200 level with lab, Biology 100 level with lab, Economics (Micro), Calculus 1,2 and 3, Physics (with Lab), English Composition and a 200 level Technical writing class, Computer science (c++ AND java training) and 4 Mechanical engineering classes such as Thermodynamics, differential equations and a few math based physics classes.</p>
<p>Do you think my HS grades and SAT’s will affect the decision. Also, are there any last moment improvements that I can make in order to increase my chances?</p>
<p>If I had to apply to a maximum of 6 universities, which 6 should I apply to?</p>
<p>I’m not in touch with Engineering schools, but almost all state Flagships are great at engineering… it’s part of their charter, and conversely, not that many Privates put much resource (or don’t even offer) engineering.</p>
