Schools applying to - JMU, Virginia Tech, UMD - College Park, William and Mary, UVa, Georgetown</p>
<p>I want to know...
- Is my GPA is competitive for any of these schools.
- Will it be in my best interest if I take the new SATs?
- How is the Economic and Philosophy department in any of these schools.
- How difficult is it to double major Economics and Philosophy in these schools that I'm applying to. Do I have to just major in one and minor in the other?
- Any other schools I should be looking at that are easy to transfer into and at most 200 miles from Washington D.C?
- How good are the financial aid for transfer students in these schools?</p>
<p>I think your GPA is competitive for any of them, but it is only one component. Your recs could make a big difference.</p>
<p>For any which require the SATs, I think it's worth your while to re-take (even tho I HATE the whole SAT thing). Send your current scores first if you are uncertain how the new try will pan out. Then if they're better, you can send them. If not, don't re-send.</p>
<p>bahh, meant to say reach for g'Town...they're private so they'll look at your HS/SAT, and those arnt really up to par
UMd is a great shot, because they wont pay much (if any) attention to your HS/SAT...although, College Park, which i assume is where you're applying to, will be harder than the other campuses as for as OOS status goes</p>
