Tranferring from Northwestern to Wesleyan

<p>I am currently in my first quarter of my junior year of Northwestern, however I started in winter of my freshman year so I have actually only completed 2 full years of undergrad (so I am aiming to enter next fall as a junior)
I am unhappy with Northwestern's sense of community, or lack thereof, as well as the lack of accesibility to professors in my department. For this reason, I'm looking to transfer to a small liberal arts school. I'm hoping to form closer bonds with professors, and to feel apart of a campus community. I am very involved at Northwestern, I just find myself dissatisfied with the student body as a whole, in terms of the social life available and the level of engagement in academics. I have made up for the lack of academic engagement by taking graduate level courses in my major, philosophy, but I feel like it's always an uphill battle to get in courses that are set aside for grad students. I was wondering if you all could tell me my chances for transferring to Wesleyan, and if you could also possibly suggest other schools to apply to. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Major: Philosophy, GPA: 3.7 (possible minor in French or Gender Studies)
Ethnicity: hispanic</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
Exec Board of NU Human Rights Conference: organizate the selection of delegates and serve as representative to delegates for the annual conference.
Exec board of Rainbow Alliance: organized college LGBT network for Chicago area colleges, coordinate volunteer program at the Chicago LGBT community center.
Gender Studies Undergraduate Board: organize speakers and film screenings.</p>

<p>Work experience: worked at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer Law firm in Vienna, Austria, attended German language program at Diplomatic Academy in Vienna, worked at Northwestern Law school, worked at Chicago LGBT community center.</p>

<p>I feel confident that I can get fairly good letters of rec</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Of the three colleges you've mentioned (I read your Swarthmore post), I think you have the best chance at Wesleyan. Wesleyan is just as strong academically as the other two, but has one thing they do not: flexible housing. In any given year, thanks to Wesleyan's vast array of dorm, apartment and housing stock, spaces for forty or fifty extra students usually open up. I also think that after two years of Evanston (IL) Middletown (CT) might actually make an interesting change of scene.</p>
