<p>You’ll be a competitive applicant, but your high school stats are going to factor in, and they’re pretty low for all those schools.</p>

<p>You’ll have a better chance applying for spring transfer next year.</p>

3

<p>You’ll probably get into UMiami.</p>

<p>I just got my acceptance letter from them.</p>

<p>I have a 3.65 from a CC and i had a 3.3 in HS. Plus a terrible 1600 on my SAT’s…</p>

4

<p>That’s good to hear. I though after 30 credits they don’t really factor HS stats as much?</p>

5

<p>Congratulations, I’m sending in my transfer stuff this week. How many credits did you have when you sent in your application and how soon did they respond to you?</p>

<p>UMiami-yes
UMich- no
Boston College- maybe
UVA- no
Cornell- no
Dartmouth- no
Vanderbilt- maybe
Georgetown- no</p>

<p>One semester isn’t enough to make up for mediocore hs grades. Apply for junior standing. You’ll be a much stronger applicant.</p>

7

<p>Than you for your honesty. What about applying after 3 semesters as a spring transfer to any one of those?</p>

8

<p>I had 47 at the time of applying. I will have 62 by the time i decide to transfer.</p>

<p>I didn’t send my HS stats to UMiami.</p>

9

<p>If you apply now, Miami will be the only school on your list to take you. If you apply next year with the same grades then you have a shot at BC, UVA, Cornell, and Venderbilt.</p>

<p>Only some of those schools take Spring applications. It also doesn’t look like you really know where you want to go, just that you want out of FIU. I understand, but I suggest you go visit some of these schools to get a feel for them. </p>

<p>Check your PMs</p>

<p>A chance at BC but no chance at Georgetown? The transfer acceptance rate for Georgetown is a lot higher (twice as high) than that of BC.</p>

11

<p>I think Georgetown is more selective though. I know that the numbers on sites might say differently but Georgetown is difficult, a lot more so than BC</p>

<p>You might have a chance at U of M. I’m a transfer from a community college, and transferred with 62 credits. I was homeschooled and DID NOT take the SAT/ACT…you’d really think that would work against me! From all the conversations I’ve had with advisors at U of M, hs grades/test scores aren’t really a factor if the applicant has 62 credits/Associate’s Degree and a high GPA, because you’ve proven you can do college level work. Just throwing that out there :)</p>
