Transfer Chances

<p>I plan on applying for transfer and I'm wondering what kind of chance I would have.</p>

<p>Here's my situation:</p>

<p>I am transferring from a top 50 school for location issues and because I'm looking for a more rigorous environment.</p>

<p>HS GPA: 4.3 weighted (school does not do unweighted), well-know, good public HS
SAT: 2150 (710 CR, 640 M, 790 W)
SAT II: 740 U.S. History</p>

<p>First semester college GPA: 3.95 (1 A-, 5 classes)
Extracurriculars: I'm not going to list them all, but in both high school I had decent athletic and community service ECs and in college I have volunteered coaching soccer roughly 4 hours a week.</p>

<p>Does anyone think my solid start to college might be able to overcome a fairly mediocre HS record?</p>

<p>Appreciate any input, thanks.</p>

<p>They just sent out letters dated mid December asking many to consider applying and the dealine was extended until Jan 15th. Search the Dartmouth forum and you will find it … and the opinions on what it means. Based on that thread, I would say, what do you have to lose?</p>
