Transfer Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I was denied by 2/3rds of the schools I applied to and now find myself in an awkward spot going to the school that was one at the bottom of my list.</p>

<p>I'm going to George Washington University in the Fall for Integrated mechanical engineering and law. However, GW's engineering program is not very strong and I'm worried that I won't find a job upon graduation. </p>

<p>My HS GPA: UW: 3.30/W: 3.60
Rank: Top 5% 34/917
SAT: 2140 : 680 CR, 700W, 760M
Subject Tests: 700 MathII, 730 USH</p>

<p>I took the most rigorous course load in high school with a total of 5 APs (English, Physics C, Calc BC, US History, Government and Politics)</p>

<p>I had ok ECs.. Editor of the newspaper, All County for quizbowl, Mock Trial, Boeing Program etc etc. </p>

<p>So my question is, hypothetically if I maintain a 3.9+ GPA for the first year at GW, what schools could I transfer into?</p>

<p>Bump anyone?</p>

<p>3.3 UW and Top 5%? No offense, but where do you go to school?</p>

<p>Sorry, just had to ask. With a 3.9 from such a university, I believe you could transfer almost anywhere.</p>

<p>Large public school with like 4000 kids outside Philadelphia</p>

<p>I’m unfamiliar with the transfer process. If I wanted to enter as a sophomore, do I apply during my freshmen year at GW? </p>

<p>With a 3.9+ GPA I assume schools like Rice, Northwestern, JHU are attainable. How about any Ivies? Also how easy would it be to switch my major as I transfer to another school? I was in love in UChicago and was deferred EA and then rejected this year. However, would love to study economics there.</p>
