<p>I currently go to Brandeis and am applying as a transfer to Wesleyan, Trinity, and Hamilton for reason I would rather not get into. I have 3.8 GPA from my first semester and currently have all As in my second semester classes. The only problem is my high school credentials are not that great (50 out of 400 class rank, 1940 SATs) I have no clue how important high school is so I don't know if these would be an unrealistic reach or a match or what. Thank you for any input.</p>
<p>bump, sorry I kind of need to know if i should apply to these schools or not, any advice would be helpful</p>
<p>Worth a shot. Write great essays. LACs have smaller applicant pools than larger universities and it’s easier to stand out when there’s less competition.</p>
<p>Hey I go to Brandeis too! I’m thinking of transferring too, but I’m going to wait another year to better my chances. If I were you, I would wait it out. LACs are pretty competitive and junior transfers have more emphasis on college work. Or I guess you could just add some more safeties into your apps.</p>
