Transferring to George Washington Univ.

Colleges and Universities A-Z George Washington University

I am currently a Freshman at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts and I am considering transferring schools upon wanting to change my major. Being that I have only been at the College for a couple of months, I have not gotten involved in any clubs, but the University said that they will review a resume of my past high school achievements. However, I have a “B” (2.97) for my first semester at HC.

In high school, I had a 4.0 GPA and finished in the top 15% of my graduating class, in addition I also had three honor societies to my credit (Math, Italian, and NHS). On top of that I received 9 other school wide notifications of honor, including finishing as the top Italian Language student. I was the president of a club at my high school, and even became the founder and president of an Italian Language club. On top of that I was involved in my school’s prestige leadership club that I had to be accepted into. I also played varsity golf for three years as well.

I was involved in many more activities throughout high school, such as having 90+ community service hours, but the information provided is the most important. What are my chances of being accepted as a transfer student?

It’s quite a difference going from a 4.0 to a 2.97. I’m sure GW would be concerned with what caused such a start to your undergraduate studies. I’m not saying there’s no way you’ll be accepted, but unless you can make a strong case for yourself, you’ll probably have to put in more time at HC to get your GPA up if you really want to go to GW.

EDIT: I see that you’ve used this blanket question over several forums. It seems like you’re not that serious about GW and that you’re more concerned with leaving whatever situation you’re in at HC. Further, you posted a very similar question in this forum in November and never responded to any follow-up questions.
