Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys, long-time viewer, first time poster. I am currently a second-semester Biomedical Engineering Sophomore at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ. Although the school's academics are top-notch & well-known, I wish to transfer out to University of Miami for Fall 2010. </p>

<p>The quirk about the situation is that when applying for schools as a high school senior, I was waitlisted, then admitted to the Spring freshman term but declined & chose Stevens. Although Stevens is a highly-touted engineering school, what are the chances that UM will accept me (again)? My GPA through 3 semesters (not including the current Spring semester) is 3.028. Now this seems on the low side, however, I'm curious if UM Admission will consider the difficulty of Stevens & my major's courseload here. </p>

<p>Also, if it helps, my best SAT was 600 Reading, 660 Math, 670 Writing with 2 AP Courses taken (Biology - 4, Literature - 4).</p>

<p>Any additional information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!</p>

<p>Yes, the Univ. of Miami is likely to accept you as a transfer student so long as you do well at your current school & do not focus on any negatives at Stevens other than relevant courses of study that may be unavailable there but available at Miami. Your transfer application shows continued interest & the maturity to realize the virtues of the U of Miami.</p>

<p>Thank you for the response. I do hope I get in. Will I need to send in my SAT grades or other high school material or is that not relevant anymore? Also, will they see that I’ve applied, waitlisted, & declined their offer? Any information you have would be great. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>
