Transfer to a school and a different major?

<p>Hi I'm currently doing biochem. I've been getting B/B+'s and I realized that I want to change my major to international relations and eventually do work in Global Health. </p>

<p>However, my current school doesn't have a strong IR program and I'm seeking to transfer to a school that does. I wonder, How much does GPA comes into play if you plan to change your major at the same time? </p>

<p>I have very good SATs, great EC & working experiences, and I think I can write a convincing essay, but I'm just worried that I will may be rejected because of my current GPA. If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
