<p>Hi all, I am a freshman student studying mechanical engineering at UMass Lowell. I know it's kinda late, but I have been thinking about transferring to WPI for months because UMass Lowell does not really appeal to me...I applied once last year but was rejected from the waitlist...~3.4GPA for my first semester, active member of several clubs, doing pretty well with my current semester. Do I have a chance of being accepted? And would I need to start as a freshman again if I am accepted?-.-</p>
<p>can anybody help me-.-</p>
<p>3.4 is not bad for WPI, they have a great acceptance rate for transfers.
It is around 50%.
Extracurricular would be really helpful(for ME, robotics or ASME activities), try it again.</p>
<p>But I can remember that you are not supposed to apply for transfer soon after you were rejected. In most cases they would ask you to apply during next semester, not now.</p>
<p>You may continue as a sopho, they have rolling courses so that you’ll find a chance to do first year coursework after getting accepted. (one of the profs told me that during my on-campus visit)</p>
<p>If you have further questions just mail me: <a href="mailto:majormei1008@gmail.com">majormei1008@gmail.com</a></p>
<p>hope it helpful 
good luck.</p>
<p>I believe it may be too late now to apply. I know they do take transfers halfway through the year. If you can keep your GPA around 3.5 you definetely stand a good chance of getting in. On the downside, I’d imagine you won’t get much merit financial assistance.</p>
