Transfer....

Colleges and Universities A-Z Swarthmore College

<p>I am looking to apply as a transfer to Swarthmore for next fall, I am currently a freshmen (well, I am a sophomore at my current school if you count my IB credits, but they won't help me at Swarth...)</p>

<p>In high school, I had a 3.68 UW GPA...all IB classes for my Junior and Senior years.
32 ACT</p>

<p>I had a list of focused extracurriculars....which centered around leadership roles in volunteer organizations.</p>

<p>I am currently at the University of Michigan Dearborn.
The semester is almost over, heres my breakdown:
Summer 06:
Poli Sci 101 - A
Psych 171 - A-</p>

<p>Fall 06:
English 125 - A-
Stats 363 - A
Anthro 101 - A
Soc 201 - A
Ling 280 - A</p>

<p>Winter 07:
Calc III
Diff Eq
Macro Econ
Micro Econ
History 112 (American past)</p>

<p>My IB credits got my higher placements and my distribution at my school is complete, which explains my course selection.</p>

<p>My recommendations from my Professors won't be anything special...</p>

<p>However, my essays, I think, will be pretty good. I have a friend who works in the admissions office, but he lets me know what they look for, but I really want to attend, so I think I can come up with something that stands out.</p>

<p>I know they got more transfer friendly, but do you think I got enough to make the cut?</p>

<p>When you are transferring, do they look at your high school record too?</p>

3

<p>You are required to submit high school transcript, secondary school report, and SAT I and SAT II scores. You can use a high school teacher for one of your teacher recommendations if you choose to - they require two and at least one must be a college professor.</p>

<p>i just looked at the app, and I don't need SAT I/II if I use my ACT</p>

<p>"The new SAT reasoning test with mandatory writing section and two SAT subject tests/SAT IIs; or, the old SAT I
with three SAT subject tests/SAT IIs, one of which must be the SAT II writing test (last administered March 2005);
OR, the ACT with a score from either the ACT optional writing test, the new SAT writing section, or the SAT II
writing test (last administered March 2005)"</p>

<p>but the only one rec from college prof helps a bit...</p>

<p>and I'm applying for Fall 2007...currently a freshmen...planning to enroll as a sophmore</p>
