<p>I am currently a freshperson looking to transfer from a top 50 university to Wellesley College as a sophomore. I applied as a high school senior but I was wait-listed. However, it remains my first choice. I was wondering if anyone had transferred to Wellesley successfully has any tips or advice, with GPA and test scores posted.
Here are my stats:
HS GPA: 87.9 (the reason I was wait-listed :( )
College GPA: Unknown as of yet; Mid Terms not graded
SAT Scores: 2280 (C 770 M 730 W 780)
SAT Subjects: 740 Lit 750 US History 750 Math IIC</p>
<p>Do you have any extracurriculars (I know that can be difficult in your first semester of college)? Why do you want to transfer? Any idea what your GPA will be? Your test scores are good, which is definitely helpful.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure that the class of 2014 isn’t taking transfers next year because enrollment was too high you should double check, but that could obviously be an issue</p>
<p>@wellesleygrrl, I have a lot of extracurriculars.
I interned for two NY Congresspersons, started my own political review at college and am in the process of co-founding another club at my current college. In high school, I was involved in student union and debate team. As in terms of GPA, I think I should land a 3.6 with no difficulties. I know that a 3.6 is still low for Wellesley standards. However, it might be slightly higher since I am only basing this on test and paper grades I have gotten. My school is weird so I have to wait until December to see my GPA. @kleew, I have also heard this rumor. Although I think it might just be for entry in January of 2011. I am planning to transfer in the Fall not Spring. I will definitely check with the admissions office. Thanks.</p>
<p>And also, I want to transfer because my school offers no aide to me due to its merit based policy. My parents had to take out loans to pay my tuition. As long as they are paying 56,000 dollars, I rather be in a school that is worthy of that price tag. My school doesn’t host events and lectures with world leaders and renowned dignitaries like Wellesley does. And the class selections for my major, Political Science, is extremely limited even though it is a popular major at my university. I suspect that I might even get a bit more aid at Wellesley since its not fully merit based.</p>
you should double check, but that could obviously be an issue</p>
