<p>I was placed on Georgetown's wait-list and if I'm not accepted off the WL, I might transfer to Georgetown. If you're an accepted transfer student at Georgetown, please post your stats or any advice. Thanks.</p>
<p>Average college GPA of transfers? Anyone?</p>
<p>I havent heard anything from G-Town SFS yet, but here are my general stats:</p>
<p>UC Irvine
3.78
1280 SAT
President of Undergrad Business Association
Intern Make a Wish Foundation
etc... etc...</p>
<p>All the other schools I applied to have contacted me and all were acceptances so im really hoping Georgetown comes through - oye, I hope they hurry up.</p>
<p>What other schools did you apply to Outono?</p>
<p>UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSD, NYU, Boston University</p>
<p>nice! I guess even if you dont get into g-town you're pretty much set</p>
<p>Well, all of those schools are awesome, but none of them have the IR expertise that Georgetown has. Plus, Im an Econ major for Berkeley, an Econ/International Studies major for UCLA, and the same for UCSD. BU I got into the IR program, but its nothing compared to the honors program for IR and NYU. So NYU is the best choice now (I cant stand Econ anymore - oye), but Georgetown would be so much better! :)</p>
<p>What about you guys? Stats, schools accepted, where ya from?</p>
<p>Does GT release data on GPAs of accepted transfer students?</p>
<p>Not specifics - they say at least a B avg. But from what ive read and from what I hear, it seems you have the best chance with a 3.7 and up, but GPA is only one part of the whole thing so meh.</p>
<p>Average was a 3.7 for transfer admitees.</p>
<p>yeah no doubt</p>
<p>Green09. was that for this year? Where did you get that stat?</p>
<p>Last year. Statistic directly from Georgetown rep.</p>
<p>Other than GPA and letters of recommendation, what else is taken into consideration for admission?</p>
<p>I actually just got my Transfer Acceptance on the 8th of May. (college) Oh so excited.</p>
<p>I made the extended waiting list as a Senior in high school eventually defeated by lack of attrition. </p>
<p>My stats weren't amazing by any means, I really felt an emphasis on essays because thats the only way I had any chance.</p>
<p>SAT's- 640 math 660 verbal (less than 620 on all SAT II's)
UofA 05/06- 3.85</p>
<p>I remember the agony of that wait... but hang in there, your letter will come and I wish you the best.</p>
<p>I was admitted as a trasnfer student on May 5th (MSB). My stats were not good at all. I applied after only 1 semester at college.</p>
<p>Valparaiso University - Valparaiso, IN
1st Semester GPA 3.606
ACT 29
SAT's were horrible so I never sent them in
HS GPA 3.3868 / 3.8585 (weighted)
1 Teacher REcommendation from a Statistics Teacher
I hadn't taken any business courses
AP Calc BC 4
AP Statistics 4</p>
<p>I think what got me in was my essay. I showed interest in the school and I explained why I wanted to transfer out of Valparaiso. I also showed motivation for success and an outgoing personality in my essay. The acceptance letter said that out of over 1,500 transfer candidates approximately only 200 spaces were given out. I was surprisngly shocked when I got home from my first year of college, two weeks after the letter arrived at my house, to find out that I had gotten in. Up until that point, I wasn't even thinking about transfering. Know I am undecided. While I have made really good friends at Valpo, the opportunities at Georgetown are amazing. I just don't know what to do.</p>
<p>Non-traditional slightly older-than-college-age student at a florida community college Honors program.</p>
<p>Had messed up childhood, didn't complete high school, got GED
1380 on SATs (780 V, 600 M) before starting at community college; that's how i got into honors program since i didn't have a GPA obviously </p>
<p>4.0 in Honors Program - general ed courses, targeting a Poli Sci BA when I transfer, with a side of Econ depending on how many semesters of aid i get
