Transfer To Dartmouth

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm very realistic and i know that chances for ivy leagues are very slim.
I would like to hear your point of view on my chances and maybe receive some helpful tips for my application.</p>

<p>In high school my final GPA was about 3.5-3.6 and SAT score was 1910. In high school i didn't really take school seriously and sluffed off.</p>

<p>I went to a college ranked in the 80's and had a cumulative GPA of about 3.7 after freshmen year... i then transferred up to Northeastern where i have a cumulative GPA of 3.92 after sophomore year. I have worked on my EC's and am involved in 4 organizations, i have a leadership position at my school, and i have gained excellent internship experience.</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer to Dartmouth as a business major. Im not sure if i am considered legacy, but one of my family members has been a professor at dartmouth for 20+ years (if that helps).</p>

<p>Advice? Transferring twice frowned upon? are my stats competitive? Thanks a bunch</p>

<p>Dartmouth is extremely hard, and according to what people say, dartmouth favors only legacy students. I’m also a transfer student and I decided AGAINST applying to dartmouth because my grades and stats weren’t so good.
Dartmouth has less than a 2% transfer acceptance rate so that would practically impossible unless you’re a genius. You could always try but apply for a more easier college.
Also, do well now and then apply for Post Grad with brilliant scores and extras. </p>

<p>Please chance me, I’m also a transfer!: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1659294-transfer-student-to-american-university.html?new=1”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1659294-transfer-student-to-american-university.html?new=1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>My advice is not to transfer twice. You have already transferred to a very decent university, and if you continue to do well (assuming you can afford this pricy school), you will have many opportunities in terms of graduate school, employment etc. I am worried that if you never put down any roots, you may not take advantage of all that Northeastern has to offer. While it may not have the IVY name, the school provides its students with a host of internship programs and the high scoring students with good personalities have no shortage of opportunities. If you wanted to go to medical school, I might say that it makes sense to go to a place with a higher percentage acceptance rate to medical school, but any other field, especially business, stay where you are. And remember, most MBA programs prefer students who have worked for a couple of years, and many companies will even pay for the degree if they want you to come back and move up in the ranks, so take advantage of the internships so that you will be hired before you graduate. Good luck</p>
