Transfer applicant, thoughts and chances

Colleges and Universities A-Z Stanford University

<p>I am currently a freshman at Middlebury College and I am going to apply for a transfer to Stanford.
I finished Fall Term with a 3.75, which is not ideal for transferring, but I think the break up of my grades in various classes works to my advantage.
The classes I took and the grades I received were:
Math0200, Linear Algebra A(4.0)
Phys0221, Electronics for Scientists A(4.0)
Freshmen Seminar, a literature class A-(3.67)
French 101 B+(3.33)</p>

<p>The physics class I took was very small, 8 people, and 5 were senior physics majors. I was the only freshmen.
I haven't been too active club wise. I am on the Ultimate frisbee team and that takes up a good amount of time. In high school I was in a lot of clubs.</p>

<p>I took 7 aps and they are
Physics B 5
APUSH 4
Biology 5
Physics C Mechanics 5
Physics C E&M 5
Calculus BC 5
Macro-economics 5</p>

<p>Additionally my SATs were 2230, (780m/740r/710w) my SAT IIs were
800 math2
800 physics
790 bio (M)
and 770 chem</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer into an Engineering School, but I am applying to very few and understand how slim the chances are. </p>

<p>Other notes,
In J-term I will be taking French 102 and in the spring I will be taking 5 classes, which is an additional to the normal at my school:
Physics 212, applied math for physical science
Math 223, multivariable calculus
Math 302, abstract algebra I
French 103
and a greek tragedy class</p>

<p>I went to a large public highschool in New York and my academic record was strong, and senior year was also strong.
If I have overlooked something please let me know and I will be sure to add it.</p>

<p>More specifically I think I will be applying with Aeronautics and Astronautics as my desired major</p>

<p>hi, what’s bad about middlebury that make you transfer?
Is there anyone who previously transferred to stanford from middlebury?</p>

4

<p>^^^Middlebury doesn’t offer his intended major, which is a pretty good reason to transfer.</p>

<p>Thank you arcadia, I am not applying because I dislike where I am but over winter break I realized that I wanted to do engineering.</p>
