Transfer School

Transfer Students

<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>Im looking for a little advice on what schools I might be able to transfer to. Right now, I am attending Florida Atlantic University and I am really not happy with the quality or the reputation of the school. I would love to transfer somewhere with a better reputation, but I do not know where I can get in. </p>

<p>I have a 3.7 GPA and I will have about 54 credits after this semester (end of my sophomore year). My SAT score was about a 1200 out of 1600 (yes I know not so good, that is why I am at FAU in the first place). </p>

<p>Basically what I am asking is if you guys think I have a chance at getting into a top 50 university as a transfer and if so which one? Are there any top schools that do not look at SAT scores and just your college record? </p>

<p>BTW, I am a political science major so any school would need to have a political science department.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your help</p>

<p>Any ideas?</p>

<p>what was your hs gpa? what are your ec's?</p>

<p>I think my hs gpa was like 3.2 or somewhere around there. I have solid work experience but other then that very little ECs</p>

<p>hs gpa won't hold much weight since your a sophomore in college. Most recent academic work is more important.</p>

<p>Are you looking for a private or a public school ?</p>

<p>Id consider either one. I am mainly just looking for the highest quality and most prestigious universities that I can get into. Ive started to look at Virginia and George Washington University because I have heard good things about their political science programs, but I am not sure whether or not I can get into either one.</p>

<p>You should have a fair chance at GWU. For that school, you don't have to submit SAT/ACT scores or a hs transcript if you have at least 30 transferable credits.
You do have to write an essay and have faculty recommendations..</p>

<p>Not sure about Virginia, but you can check out their website</p>
