<p>I was accepted into UIUC's Civil Engineering Program as a freshman applicant and into Northwestern University's Mathematics program, but I chose to matriculate into Northwestern instead of UIUC. I've been unhappy with my experience at Northwestern so far and I have been thinking about transferring to UIUC's Civil Engineering or Computer Engineering program. I'm technically still at student at UIUC because I took a course through UIUC my senior year in high school (Calculus III - NetMath 241). </p>
<p>So here we go with stats:
HS GPA: 4.35/4.00</p>
<p>UIUC GPA: 4.00/4.00</p>
<p>Northwestern GPA: N/A</p>
<p>ACT: 35 (35W, 36M, 34R, 35S)</p>
<p>SAT Subject Tests: Math II - 800; Chemistry - 740</p>
<p>AP Tests:
AP Calculus BC (AB) - 5 (5); AP English Language and Composition - 5; AP European History - 5; AP Comparative Government and Politics - 5; AP Chemistry - 4; AP Environmental Science - 4; AP US History - 4; AP Statistics 4; AP Physics C M - 3; AP Physics C E&M - 3; AP Microeconomics - 3; AP Biology - 3; AP Macroeconomics - 2</p>
<p>Freshman Year Courses (including winter quarter):
MATH 290-1: MENU Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus
ECON 201-0: Introduction to Macroeconomics
CHINESE 125-1: Accelerated Chinese II
ASIAN_ST 110-6: Freshman Seminar - Growing Up in Japan</p>
<p>MATH 306-0: Combinatorics and Discrete Mathematics
ECON 202-0: Introduction to Microeconomics
CHINESE 125-2: Accelerated Chinese II
ENGLISH 105-6: Freshman Seminar - Lying, Cheating, and Stealing</p>
<p>If you are asking whether your failure to accept the freshman offer of admission before will hurt chances of transfer, the answer is no, it will actually provide some help because they will know you were qualified before. </p>
<p>Nevertheless, a lot is going to depend on your college courses and grades through second quarter, and none of your grades are known yet, and courses you will be taking in third quarter at NW. A weakness of your schedule is that you are not really taking any science courses yet. In additon to the AP credits you already have, you will be required to compete the equivalent of UIUC’s first calculus based physics course in mechanics, Physics 211, see <a href=“http://admissions.illinois.edu/pdf/transfer/handbook/engr.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.illinois.edu/pdf/transfer/handbook/engr.pdf</a>. Your AP physics scores do not qualify because UIUC requires a 5 to get any credit in Physics. You also need the equivalent of UIUC’s 4 semester hour rhetoric course which you may have but I do not know the nature of your English course or number of hours and whether having only one quarter is enough to be the equivalent of 4 semester hours. Also, though not absolutely required, completing UIUC’s language requirement (something equivalent to three coillege semesters) would take away a factor that could be considered against you. You may also have that equivalent with the language you are taking but that requires comparing the courses which I cannot do. Another course that could help is to take the equivalent of UIUC’s first computer science course, CS 101.</p>
