Hey guys what are my chances of transferring to STANFORD, DUKE, NORTHWESTERN?
Prospective junior
GPA: 3.8
SAT: 1500 (retook)
HS SAT: 1230 (Original)
HS GPA: 3.5 (with B’s and C’s) UW
HS Rank: 22/430
Current Psychology major
I attend UT Austin.
Also first semester of freshmen year I got a C+ in GEN CHEM and 2 B’s as well as a W (withdrew from a course)
I would definitely apply, but Stanford accepts about 1% of transfer applicants. Most of the transfer students I know had extenuating circumstances to where they could not apply as freshmen (i.e., had a kid, served in the military).
You could apply if you want to. You will never know for sure unless you apply. However, don’t expect to be changing schools anytime soon.
Fortunately you are already at a very good school.
If I am doing the math right then you need to have 17 A’s to have a 3.8 if you have a C and two B’s. If you keep doing well with mostly A’s, and if you are in a major where graduate school is needed (which I believe is true of psychology) and if you can afford it, then your chances would probably be better applying for grad school.
