Transferring from Northwestern as a junior-year Econ Major

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm currently an Econ Major freshman at Northwestern. I have a mediocre GPA (3.525 cum. and 3.7 major). I'm just not happy at NU, so I was looking into transferring for junior year. I got a great summer internship and I've got pretty good extracurriculars. High school I had a 3.6, 800 CR 760 Math, and great extracurriculars. </p>

<p>The thing is that Northwestern Econ is number 10, and I'm not interested in the really technical UChicago/MIT/Caltech. I would basically only transfer for East Coast Ivies or along those levels for West Coast. Staying at NU is not really a favorable option for me.</p>

<p>What are your guys thoughts, and what do you think I should do to prepare?</p>

<p>Pretty much what all potential transfers need to do:</p>

<p>Bring up your gpa next year. </p>

<p>Get to know profs/instructors so that you can get great LORs. </p>

<p>Write excellent essays with a solid reason for wanting to transfer.</p>

<p>Keep up your college ECs.</p>
