Transfer Chances

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am a freshman at the University of Oregon and I am an Econ and Math major. I am somewhat happy here but do not feel challenged or that I fit in terribly well. So I want to transfer. In highschool I sucked the first two years and then started taking more difficult classes my Junior and Senior years and did much better.</p>

<p>So in High School I had a 3.3 gpa sat: 740 Math 710 Reading 680 Writing and on SAT II's: 720 math IIc and 640 Chem.<br>
National Merit Commended Scholar
Eagle Scout
Senior Class President and I was in some clubs too
I took the following AP's
Calculus AB 5
Statistics 5
Chemistry 4
Physics C Mech. 4
Physics C E&M 4
European History 3</p>

<p>In my first Quarter at Oregon (yes quarter, we are on the quarter system) I took 4 classes (in a quarter system this is the norm) and did moderately well
Micro I got an A
Macro I got an A
Writing 123 I got an A (It is the second required writing class at oregon its a research paper writing class)
Calc II I got a B :(</p>

<p>Next term I am taking differential equations, elementary analysis, intermediate micro theory, introductory accounting, and two PE's for fun.</p>

<p>So now that I have all of that out of the way here are the schools I would like to apply to maybe, it is a long list but I can always narrow it down.</p>

<p>NYU CAS for their Econ&Math degree, I applied to stern in hs and was rejected, but now realize that Econ&Math is more my passion
Columbia's Econ&Math or Econ&Stat degree
Georgetown's Econ
George Washington's Econ
Boston University Econ
London School of Economics
UMich
Claremont Mckenna
UPenn, not wharton, econ and math degrees
Baruch
others...?</p>

<p>So do I stand a chance of getting into any of these schools and what else should I do to help my chances.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Baruch and BU are do-able but all the schools will weigh your HS transcript heavily. Hopefully, you have a few ECs and excellent recs which will help your candidacy. </p>

<p>That being said, if you have 1.5-2 years, you'll have a better shot at all of them, if you continue to do well as a Duck. The HS transcript becomes less important, and you'll be stronger.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>You could get into GW econ now if you apply.</p>

<p>Hey, I'm looking to transfer TO Oregon!. Can you tell me why you don't think you fit in? Most people I know who go there really like it. The main complaint I've heard about the school is the rain.</p>

<p>I actually like the rain, I am at home right now (the south) and miss the rain. Umm its not as serious of an academic enviroment as I would like.</p>
