Transfer Chance?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Dartmouth College

<p>Hello everyone,</p>

<p>I was just wondering what my chances were as a transfer student. One of my life goals is to win a nobel prize and when I visited Dartmouth I felt like it was the school that could provide me with an undergrad education that would bring me one step closer. Other schools I was prospecting were Yale, Harvard, University of Chicago and Columbia; any guesstimates for those colleges would be much appreciated as well!</p>

<p>college GPA: 4.0
SAT: 2300
Subject Tests
Bio: 730
Literature: 780
Math 1: 750</p>

<p>Other info:
Deferred for 2 years prior to attending my current college to do service work, character development and leadership training.
Currently the freshman representative for SGA
Highly likely to become President of SGA sophomore year
Founded the 1st Honors society at my college, Georgia Gwinnett College (It's new)
I am also a URM (Japanese-American) and I hear that has some leverage when it comes to admissions.</p>

<p>Any input would be great! Thank you!</p>

<p>You sound like an outstanding candidate, but just so you know, few Asians are considered to top be URMs…maybe Hmong, Cambodians, Laotians, et al. Not Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Indian.</p>

<p>I have no idea what your transfer chances are, but it is reportedly more difficult than undergraduate admissions. I’m sure your outstanding scores and college GPA will help.</p>

<p>Haha, thanks for the heads up. I thought mixed races in general were considered minorities. Is it a race specific thing? Could it also pertain to religious group?</p>

<p>nobel: URM stands for “under represented minority” or, in other terms, a race that is disproportionately less represented at the college (or colleges in general). This is often applicable to people of latino, black, or native american decent. Religious groups are not considered in URM status.</p>
