I am a current first year student at Colgate University thinking of transferring to Lafayette College for personal reasons. I have an estimated 3.3 / 3.4 GPA (can not see my grades yet), and am involved in many different extracurriculars. I hear it is hard to get into Lafayette as a transfer, but coming from a school like Colgate I am wondering if that will help my chances. What are my chances of admission to Lafayette? What can I do to improve my odds?
One way to improve your odds is to give specific reasons why Lafayette College is a better school than Colgate University for your educational & professional goals.
Does Lafayette offer a major in your area of interest that is not offered at Colgate ?
Are there important family matters that would be helped by such a move ?
Is there a specific reason for wanting the transfer? What does Lafayette have that Colgate cannot offer?
Have you shown interest in Lafayette (ex. visit, interview if they are available for potential transfers)?
