Transfer Chances for Notre Dame?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi everyone, I am a current freshman at DePaul University and I applied to transfer to Notre Dame as a sophomore in the fall for economics. My college GPA is a 3.55 (because I got a C in Microeconomics). I visited the school the other day and I loved it and I met with a director for undergraduate admissions to introduce myself, ask questions, and say some reasons why I want to transfer. My GPA should be able to increase to at least a 3.65 after my final trimester. I also emailed a Notre Dame admissions representative to include a personal issue that has occurred to met his academic year. </p>

<p>My courses include (all 4 credits):
2 Writing Courses - A's in both
1 University Seminar - taking this now
2 math courses (Calc1 & Calc2) - A in Calc2, A- in Calc1
1 Philosophy Course - B+
2 Biology Courses - taking both now
1 International Relations Course - B+
2 Econ courses (micro & macro) - taking now</p>

<p>ACT Score: 28</p>

<p>I am also am involved with 3 clubs and I had an internship this past winter break. Moreover, my recommendations (from high school counselor, college professor, and high school teacher) are stellar since I have very good relations with them.</p>

<p>Side note that may or not be important:
* single mom with triplets (1 is at Cornell, the other is at Johns Hopkins)
* out of state student from Florida
* I will be sending a midterm report in the middle of may to the college since my final transcript does not come out until mid June.
* I was selected to do an economics reunion program for a week in DC this summer.</p>

<p>What do you guys think??</p>

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance. According to their transfer statistics, your ACT is in range. Moreover, they do prefer that their transfer students come from four year colleges.
The GPA might be on the lower side, but it looks like you took challenging courses. Have you talked to a counselor? I know that statistics is a required course for transfer students, but I remember reading on a previous post that the university accepted a student who was going to take it over the summer.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey!</p>

<p>Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone, but I did not get in.</p>

<p>I got my small rejection letter this past week. I also emailed one of the administrators I have been in regular contact and she said they had a spike in transfer applications. Notre Dame had a 33% increase in the amount of transfer applications, making it the toughest year for the candidates in the school’s history.</p>
