Transfer from GWU to a top school

Transfer Students

<p>Okay, here's the dealio. I just started at George Washington, and it's okay, but I want out. But the problem is that it's actually pretty good at international affairs and that's what I want so I'm only going to try for a school that's at least as good: Georgetown, Stanford, Harvard, Columbia, and Yale. Did I miss a good school with good IA? Let me know. Also, I'm really not so sure that the last four have spectacular programs, but I'm sure they're on par with Gdub. Anyway, here are my stats.</p>

<p>High school: 3.5 GPA, 4.5 weighted, at the far end of the top 10%
1450 SAT, crappy SAT IIs, 6 APs, average around a high 3, but let's not go there
good E.C.s etc. though i don't think it matters
with this crap I got into GWU, Wisconsin, U of Richmond (honors law program whatever), and Maryland Honors and 1/2 scholarship</p>

<p>over the summer I interned at a bank where I've got a guaranteed allstar rec.
College: I'm taking hard classes, but transferring is enough incentive to get a 3.8 minimum
i'll have some e.c.'s too nothing to blow their mind though</p>

<p>So tell me what you think.
I'll like you =)</p>

<p>well for georgetown after 1 year it's a stretch. The other 4 you pretty much have no chance for. It's not you, it's sub 10% transfer rate. Sorry, Johns Hopkins maybe..</p>

<p>really? why not? I'd ever so much like it if you'd tear away at some of my stats. But seriously Johns Hopkins? UVA told me after rejecting me from a waitlist I was the ideal transfer. (just ignore the whole in-state legacy stuff and it sounds good). So i figured if I actually try on my grades I could get in somewhere I might actually want to go. We can pretend I'll get 4.0 if you think the .2 will make such a difference. I'm just not sure if I can an A in my language class (east asian <em>shivers</em>)</p>

<p>Yes, nspeds as good as anyone, which is less than 25%, I believe. 25% is what I would consider a stretch.</p>

<p>He/she has a good chance at all those schools. Now by good chance, I mean relative to the acceptance rates of that particular institution; for instance, no applicant has a good chance at Yale, all things being equal, but relative to other applicants, she may have as good a chance as anyone. Considering such, 'saladfingers' has as good a chance as anyone.</p>

<p>I agree nspeds.</p>
