Transfering to UVA/William and Mary/Rutgers

Transfer Students
1

<p>hey guys i'm an up and coming student at a large public school down in VA. I'm happy with where i'm at but at the same time i had dreams of going to UVA/WM...and rutgers well its back up at home and i have no issue going there.</p>

<p>I was just wondering how i would stand againt UVA/William and Mary in a transfer for next year i heard rumor that WM has a 52%acceptance rate if someone could clarify that for me that'd be apprecited.</p>

<p>Here are some stats of mine
High school
GPA: 3.4
SAT: 1700
6 AP Courses, AP Scholar
A lot of ec's skilled musician as well.
3 SAT 2's 600's in each</p>

<p>Currently in college
5 Courses 16 credits</p>

<p>hopefully <em>crossing fingers</em> i can get at least a 3.5 getting a 3.7 though is definently possible at the rate i'm going.</p>

<p>anyways do i stand a chance at well UVA/WM/Rutgers?</p>

<p>Is your HS GPA of 3.4 weighted or unweighted? With 6 APs, if that's weighted...that's pretty bad.</p>

3

<p>na thats unweighted our school dosen't weight.</p>

4

<p>still not all that great though</p>

5

<p>No..it's good for a HS GPA. Most transfers have low HS gpas and then high college GPAs to show their commitment to improvement.</p>

6

<p>think its good for uva/william and mary well and rutgers for that matter?</p>

7

<p>Rutgers..probably..</p>

<p>Dunno about the other 2..I heard W and M has a high transfer admit rate.</p>

8

<p>i'll bump this for more reponses any idea on chances people?</p>

9

<p>I'm thinking of the exact same 3 schools. :)</p>

10

<p>Rutgers Newark would probably give you plenty of money even as a transfer.</p>

11

<p>eh i really don't wanna go to RU Newark RU New Brunswick think i have a chance?</p>

12

<p>you said, "its back at home" meaning your from here? (nj? im from here too) I think you probably have a very very good shot, If thats the case.</p>

13

<p>i guess i should've been more specific i live next to rutgers new brunswick so by home i meant that. I had gotten into newark from the get go but i wasen't a fan of it too much.</p>

14

<p>you should have no problem getting into rutgers.
my friend got in with a 2.8 transfer gpa.. so c'mon now, what's there to worry about?</p>

15

<p>nice but anyone have any idea for William and Mary and UVA?</p>

16

<p>If great VA public schools intrest you, check also University of Mary Washington.</p>

17

<p>UVA is ridiculously hard to get in OOS. Especially as a transfer, and especially with only a decent HS record (most OOS kids coming in as first years have 3.8-4.2s). You'll need 3.8+ for the first semester, and I'd advise you to do super well second semester (4.0) and have mid term grades sent in. Work hard on your essays (I spent 2 months on mine, and I'm pretty sure it's what got me accepted on top of my pretty decent grades). Have a decent resume that will stand out. That's my best advice: do super well, because OOS admissions are really tough, on top of the already difficult IS admission standards. Google UVA admissions blog, there's a transfer one. Good luck.</p>

<p>PS- I love it here at UVA. Wouldn't change the situation for a million bucks, and don't regret the move at all, and I haven't looked back once (other than I came from VT and VT is in the news practically weekly still)</p>
