<p>What’s the general profile for accepted Transfer Applicants?</p>

<p>For me the thing is, this past year my gpa shot down as a result of taking courses and thinking of going into a major completely wrong for me. At the end of Spring07, I can honestly say my gpa was probably a 3.5. Why? Well, highschool was a big mess for me and I wanted to start off a bit easy, and so took an array of classes that caught my interest, but yes there was some challenge involved but due to interest I found enjoyable. This past year is all science-based (engineering+comp. sci), and my mind was somewhere else…so my gpa shot down. I stated this in my application. This past year…does not show who I am. And I told them I decided on my major once and for all and how at Harvard I can continue on the path to being great at it. (this sounds a bit full of myself, doesn’t it? I would never have applied, but something special made want to) </p>

<p>And also, I do have great rec. letters, and a long list of extracurriculars.</p>

<p>In your post, it says Harvard. If you think you will get into Harvard as a transfer with a 3.5, you are dreaming. However, you may have a chance at BU. Getting in as a transfer is a bit harder than getting in as a freshman, but it can be done.</p>
