Colleges and Universities A-Z Bates College

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>For many reasons I seek to transfer to Bates College. I have a 3.72 GPA and this semester it should hit 3.8. I have received all As in my classes except for a difficult Berkeley math weeder, where I got a C+.</p>

<p>I started a company with my uncle and I’m VP of Finance for a small club. I am also a member of two other clubs.</p>

<p>Do I have any shot at all?</p>

<p>In High School, I applied to Williams, Bates, and Dartmouth but was waitisted to all three schools. I applied too late for Bates’ important interview!</p>

<p>My SAT is 2110 but I never studied, and I will study this summer and bring it much higher. I’m a white male from CA.</p>

<p>Why do you want to transfer? What’s wrong with Berkeley? It’s one of the “public Ivies” and has to be a lot cheaper than the other schools you listed, especially if you are a Cal resident.</p>
