<p>Hello, I will be a new student at UC Berkeley in the fall as a physics major, however I have decided that I want do bioengineering instead. At Berkeley there are two separate colleges (letters/sci and engineering). I am currently in L&S and would have to transfer eventually into the college of engineering, which would mean applying for a transfer. </p>
<p>Even if I was qualified enough to get in, there is always the possibility that there is simply not enough room in the college for another student, so I need a back up plan if this is the case. Hence, I am playing with the idea of transferring colleges.</p>
<p>I know that the reality of getting accepted as a transfer is slim, but I am wondering if I have a shot given that I have a good reason for transferring.</p>
<p>I am taking the same engineering curriculum in the school year as engineering students do. </p>
<p>My main concern, however, is my high school grades. I got about a 3.7 in high school, which put me at about 100/600 in class rank. How would this affect my admissions?</p>
<p>My standardized test scores are: 34 ACT; 800 math 2c, 700 ush sat 2</p>
<p>Any advice, concerns, suggestions is much appreciated!</p>
