<p>I'm a freshman at the George Washington University looking to transfer. My current major is IR, but I'm thinking about Economics as well. How would my chances be?
First Semester GPA: 3.80 (17 credits)
High School: 4.0 (Small rural high school though, APs not offered)
SAT: CR 680 Math 650 Writing 670</p>
<p>Also should I think about retaking the SATs since it's been about a year since I last took them? Thanks.</p>
<p>Please if anyone has any advice that would help a lot.</p>
<p>are you trying to transfer to the college or to wharton?</p>
<p>If Wharton, your SAT's are really low, and probably your collegiate GPA, too.</p>
<p>If the College, your SAT's are a bit low but your GPA is good. Penn has both IR and Econ programs that are good.</p>
<p>But also think of this - there are much better job opportunities if you stay at GW. Not just summer in DC either - but I wish I were closer to big organizations so I could do a small internship in the fall or spring.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help. I'm planning on transferring into the College. I'm not really interested in studying business too much, I'm more interested in the academic side of Econ or IR. I'm transferring because I want to be at a more academicly simulating school, rather than to raise myself up to a more competitive school. I'm in the Elliott School at GW, which is pretty good for IR, but I've been very dissappointed with the study body at GW.</p>
