<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'm an incoming freshman at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. It's not a fantastic school, but I'm only sixteen and my parents were not comfortable with me living away from home (I live 15 mins away from West Chester). </p>
<p>I'd taken multiple classes at WCU prior to enrolling, and thus I already have a fair amount of credits stashed up (by next June I will have 60 credits). Thus, my advisor and I agree that I could easily graduate in two years–with two degrees. I'm currently majoring in Russian Studies and would like to add another major on. My preferences are for either International Relations something similar. If you can't already tell, I want to work in something such as the foreign service another government agency.</p>
<p>Anyway, here's my dilemma: I know that International Relations is a competitive field and I'm worried that WCU is not well known enough for me to get a job. I figure that have a two Bachelor's by the time I'm 18 will play to my advantage since doing something like that is unheard of, but I'm still worried.</p>
<p>I would like to transfer to a more prestigious school after freshman year. My parents would be more open to letting me live away from home by the time I'm 17, and I feel that a better school would also bring more opportunity when it comes to finding a job.</p>
<p>I would ideally be applying to top-notch International Relations schools like GWU, Georgetown, and American. Are the odds in my favor? Would these schools accept a 17 year old transfer student with 60 credits from an unknown university?</p>
<p>My Stats:
Current GPA: 3.85
Predicted GPA: more than 3.85 (So far I've only taken classes in subjects that are not my strong suit in order to get them out of my way. Once I start taking classes in subjects that I'm better at my GPA will rise.)</p>
<p>Credits as of Spring 2015: ~60</p>
<p>HS stats:
HS GPA: 3.9
SAT: 2020 (I know its low; I only took it once and I didn't study. :/ )</p>
<p>Thank you for your feedback, I greatly appreciate any advice whatsoever!</p>
