<p>Hi. This is a very broad question so if you don't respond to every school on the list I completely understand. I do know how the schools related to one another in terms of prestige and rigor so if you say something like "your chances at schools like carnegie mellon, etc" and "your chances are virginia tech are.." i understand and appreciate the opinion.</p>
<p>Here are my stats.
I'd prefer to apply to transfer without submitting HS information as it's not a good indication of what I actually can do but for the sake of information
2.8 UW GPA
2150 SAT
14 AP Credits transferred (All 5s on every test)</p>
<p>I currently attend a low-mid ranked University.
I've worked for the University since the middle of my first semester as a help desk employee as per recommendation of my computer science instructor. I passed Comp Sci 100 with over 100% and was asked not only to the help desk but to also tutor the course, I had to decline for various reasons but I will be tutoring next semester and the semester after (currently a second semester freshman)</p>
<p>I have a year of work experience prior to college and a manager willing to write a recommendation letter for me.</p>
<p>I will be staying on campus over the summer to work for the IT department, both with summer help desk work and moving locations onto a brand new, highly anticipated building the University is creating for the comp sci department. I'd be able to get fantastic recommendation letters from both teachers and my managers (some are involved with Blackboard as well)</p>
<p>I joined a fraternity this semester and it's done a lot for my community service/philanthropy side. We've helped out hospitals, elementary schools, the local community, animal shelters, and an unfathomable amount more which will only increase in the next two semesters. (I have recorded dates and several photos as well as keep in touch with some of the places i've helped)</p>
<p>If the school is division II or III I could most likely play soccer there. I'd work really hard to get in shape over the summer, etc. If athletics were a deciding factor i'd put my heart into being good enough to play by the time I attempt to transfer.</p>
<p>I excel at essays and things of that nature. I'd like an opinion contingent upon me constructing a good essay.</p>
<p>Scholastically;
3.6 - I expect to transfer with between a 3.6-3.8 UW GPA (Not even sure which courses here are considered honors but I know i'm in some sort of honors program because i'm allowed to enroll for the next semester weeks ahead of others students)
Member of the Computer Science honor society here.
As I mentioned, I transferred 14 credits
? Not sure what else counts as scholastic.</p>
<p>I feel like I left a lot of my qualifications out, feel free to ask "What about ___?" I'm going to check this thread often and reply frequently.</p>
<p>---dont have to read this---
The first schools are schools that have chapters of my fraternity. I am aware that if i transfer I won't be able to pledge again, unfortunately these schools are not amongst my favorites. If you see a school directly below that you think would be a good fit for me and has a solid computer science program please make note of it, I would like to not totally uninvolve myself from greek life (I don't think i'd have time to do much alumnus support)</p>
<h2>To other transers/transfer applicants, if you have any stories of transferring somewhere that did not have your greek organization PLEASE share your story and how it worked out!</h2>
<p>Cornell University
Purdue University
Bucknell University
Virginia Tech
York College of Penn</p>
<p>(I don't really want to go to Purdue, Bucknell, or Penn and don't think I have the qualifications for Cornell but it looks like it would be a possible option.</p>
<p>Colorado Mesa
University Maryland university college
Western Oregon
Wouthern Oregon
University of Colorado Denver (UC Denver)
Michigan State University</p>
<p>(Are all colleges college confidential lists are not "having greek life", having looked into how accurate that is but every college here is a potential fit to me, I think)</p>
<p>West Virginia University
Washing State University
Wake Forest University
Washington State University
University of Colorado at Boulder</p>
<p>(All solid prospective schools, I have a few others but I actually accidently deleted my search, but here are quite a few.)</p>
<p>"Dream" schools:
University of California Berk
Carnegie Mellon</p>
<p>I feel as though with a 3.6-3.8, solid ECs, and a lot of involvement (along with hopefully the shot at a good interiew) I have a shot. </p>
<p>Alright, thanks for reading. Post away and feel free to ask any questions.</p>
