<p>Hello all ..</p>
<p>I am just wondering about my chances, as a 3.5+ GPA student, to transfer from WPI to a top notch college (e.g. MIT...) </p>
<p>Would I be attractive to those kind of colleges ?</p>
<p>Thanks a lot</p>
<p>Hi ProfMe. At MIT in 2009-10, only 6% of transfer applications were accepted overall. The chances of admission are so low that I’d bet you wouldn’t be able to find a statistically meaningful difference between WPI and any similar college. </p>
<p>You can find transfer admittance atatistics by googling “Common Data Set” for the colleges you have in mind. Here is MIT’s:</p>

<p>slim to none.</p>
<p>ProfMe,</p>
<p>It looks like you are an incoming freshman from your other posts. If so, I wouldn’t start any college with the idea that I just wanted to get out of there. </p>
<p>Pick among the colleges that did accept you and go there with the attitude that you will learn and have a good time, and maybe you will. If not, you certainly won’t do either.</p>
<p>Thank you guys for you comments … It helped to have an idea.</p>
