Transfer Chance?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I am a student at BU applying for transfer into Georgetown for junior year. My stats are:</p>

<p>HISTORY/POLITICAL SCIENCE MAJOR
COLLEGE GPA: 3.84 including two 300 level and one 500 level class
HS GPA: 3.68
SAT SCORES: 2060/2400
EXTRACURRICULARS: College Democrats, Undergraduate History Association, BU for Barack Obama, work at Boston history museum, internship w/ Senator John Kerry
ESSAYS/ECs: pretty good</p>

<p>My reasons for transferring are that Georgetown's political science department would offer many more internship opportunities in Washington DC, and their political science department is significantly better than most other colleges.</p>

<p>Any comments are greatly appreciated.</p>

<p>Looks like you have a great chance. Remember, Georgetown doesn’t have Poly Sci - they just call it government.</p>

<p>How much weight do they put on fulfilling undergraduate requirements (in my case, it would be the Georgetown College requirements)? I’m pretty sure I have completed most of them except the Religion requirement, but I’m not sure how some of my classes may transfer.</p>

<p>I’d say you’re definitely very competitive in the process, especially since gtown supposedly looks at college gpa over everything else. i actually had the same question about prerequisites, and when i called they said that they just want you to have taken the freshman requirements at your current school…of course, keep in mind that transferring to as elite a school at georgetown means they’re going to be wayyyy more selective in what credits transfer</p>
