Transfer Students

<p>Hello everybody.</p>

<p>I'm currently enrolled in the california community college system and just finished my 4th semester and planning on spending one more here then transferring.</p>

<p>I'm planning on going into chemical engineering, with my backup being materials science and engineering. </p>

<p>Classes I've completed:
Calc 1, 2
Calc-Based physics 1
College chemistry - 1, 2
materials engineering + lab (3 units)
matlab course (3 units)
Quite a few humanities courses/english etc. </p>

<p>Taking calc 3, physics 2 this next semester + other unimportant stuff.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 factoring in everything. A's in physics, all my math courses, and a B+ in chem 1, A in chem 2. A in materials, and A- in matlab. Have 60 units completed total but quite a few of those are not going to be transferable/matter.</p>

<p>Decided I am not going to be going to CA public schools because for them, I would need to be here for 2 more semesters, and they only accept transfers in fall so I'd be stuck for almost a year with nothing to do. </p>

<p>So; I'm looking at out of state and private schools and I'm really trying to find a good fit and a place with a good program but also that I can get in. </p>

<p>Current schools I'm looking at: UVA, CU Boulder(Seems to be my favorite so far), Colorado School of mines(Probably won't end up going here though over boulder), but I'd like to consider some of the other midwest and east coast schools and was wondering where I could realistically get in as a transfer student. </p>

<p>I didn't do too well on my SAT's(like a 1250 math/critical score), not sure what I received on my writing though. </p>

<p>Anyways, any other information you guys would like, I'll answer in the replies. </p>

<p>p.s. financial aid not really an issue. </p>

<p>Thanks for reading</p>

<p>I think you would have a really great chance of getting into Georgia Tech…</p>

<p>It is one of the top engineering schools in the world</p>

<p>Take a look at some of the [Association</a> of Independent Technological Universities: AITU](<a href=“http://theaitu.org%5DAssociation”>http://theaitu.org) schools. A number of them are in the midwest and they all have strong engineering programs. You can find ones in major cities or in more rural environments.</p>

<p>As a faculty member who has been involved in admissions for a long time, you would definitely get into my university, [Illinois</a> Institute of Technology](<a href=“http://www.iit.edu%5DIllinois”>http://www.iit.edu)</p>
