<p>anybody know anything about transferring to American?</p>
<p>what do u want to know?</p>
<p>is it hard to get in? whats life at American like?</p>
<p>two very broad questions... if u have a 1.0 gpa, then yes it will be hard to get in. Be more specific.</p>
<p>Life at AU is AMAZING. The social life is great, the profs are talaneted, and the people are really really nice (ie: me!!!)</p>
<p>plus u have DC is your backyard, yet unlike g-town and GW there is still a nice campus & community. </p>
<p>feel free to ask me here of PM me w/ anyother questions...</p>
<p>~alyssa</p>
<p>is there anything that you dislike about AU?</p>
<p>haha no... i am slighly obsessed w/ my college... just every so slightly...</p>
<p>somethings that i know others don't like:
$$$ costs a lot of money to go here...
people are VERY much so into politcs... if u don't like politcs... or you don't care about governmental affairs.. don't go here
there is like a 60/40 split between females to males (although most of my friends are guys... strange)... if your coming from like an all girls school... and u want a college with LOTS of guy... don't go here...
its not in the "heart" of the city persay... like u have to take a shuttle ride (free btw) and hop on a metro... in order to get into the heart of DC... if u want to be in a place w/ no campus... and you hear cars pass by your dorm... don't go here...</p>
<p>idk.... i mean there is other stuff... if u tell me more about your likes/ dislikes... and what your looking for in a college... ask... and i can gauge my responses better...</p>
<p>~alyssa</p>
<p>I'm currently at a large state school...definately not an all female school...I actually applied to American as a frosh applicant two years ago but I dont remember much...</p>
<p>Whats the dating scene like @ American?</p>
<p>That's actually kinda interesting. Now that I'm actually in I'm currious to see what kind of people are at American. When I did research on American I used flickr.</p>
<p>Check out all the interesting people. Hopefully you should get an idea of what American's like...I think.</p>
<p>..or u could just ask me... seeing as i live here!!!</p>
<p>AU is great.... people date... a lot of my friends have relationships... but yet again its college... some people... (oh totalty not me... okay so maybe a little) like to get drunk and hook up w/ guys... other perfer then relationship route... its all up 2 u... and AU has all forms of dating... gay, straight, bi, hook ups, serious relationships... open relations... much like everyother college campus... again once u get to a pt where it doesn't really matter what college u go 2... you aren't going to have much of a dating/ social life if u stay in your dorm room all day/ night...</p>
<p>anyway hope that helps... </p>

<p>Actually the more I read about American, the more I'm liking it. I'm glad that people are into politics and from what I can tell people like to venture off into the city.</p>
<p>Neat.</p>
<p>How often do you go into DC?</p>
<p>...well i live in dc...so i'm there 24/7 :-D </p>
<p>do u mean heart of dc? well i like shopping... i go to g-town gto shop once every 2 weeks... i like to go clubbin' usually like twice a month (plus its FREE in DC... that is if u get there befiore 11 (some places eevn 11:30) ... so we get there at like 10:55 or like 11:25... then yeah... its cool... and were're there when everyone is like there...</p>
<p>the monuments are always cool as well... go to them at times (when like friends come to visit)</p>
<p>like in total (well again it depends where in the heart of dc u want to go) it takes about 25 mins... (5 min shuttle ride... 20 min on the metro) to get into heart of dc...</p>
<p>hope that helps :)</p>
<p>~alyssa</p>
<p>yeah it does!!! Thanks for all your help....
Do you know anything about transfer admissions? Like typical stats to get in? What are the dorms like?</p>
<p>According to College Board (I don't know what year), the total number of transfer students who applied was 1,477, and of those, 1,015 were admitted. That's about a 69% admittance rate for transfers. Transfer admissions requirements for AU can be found at: <a href="http://admissions.american.edu/public/contentPage/contentPage.asp?navID=132&parId=305&childId=2984&docID=2867%5B/url%5D">http://admissions.american.edu/public/contentPage/contentPage.asp?navID=132&parId=305&childId=2984&docID=2867</a>
