<p>Do I stand a chance of being accepted into these colleges with 3.789 GPA (junior transfer)?</p>
<p>youll have a shot at bc, perhaps youll have one for jhu, but to give you a better picture you should give us more details about your app.</p>
<p>Your GPA is relatively good; but ( as far as I know; I could be wrong though) JHU has a very low acceptance rate ( I think less than 8%) because of the high retention. If you have strong recommendations and ECs along with standardized test scores that are similar to the range in occupied by the freshman class, you would be a good candidate but because of the small number of seats your chance at getting in may not be that great. BC on the other hand accepts many more transfer applicants and overall I think they are easier to get into than JHU ( plus their test scores are slightly lower I believe). Nonetheless, don’t give up on JHU, just mark it down as a reach and leave BC as a reasonable.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>thank you guys!
My SATs were on the lower side, but as far as I know SAT scores aren’t required for junior transfers at JHU. </p>
<p>I would really appreciate some suggestions of other schools I could apply to (and have a shot at).
Forgot to say that I’m political science/international relations major.</p>
<p>again, you’ll have to give us a lot more than your college gpa to give you a good list of schools to apply to</p>
<p>Personally, I think you should make your own list because that way you’re not basing something as big as college admission on what other people are saying, and honestly, you know way more about the nitty gritty parts of your application, such as personal qualities/ECs/recommendation quality and so forth, whereas we know nothing more than the GPA and prospective major ( which does not really tell us much because at tier 1 schools the GPA for competitive applicants will be in the same range). Do research on the schools you have heard about, and often it is a good idea to ask professors from a few universities you are looking at about what other universities/colleges you should apply to if you want to pursue that major. They can be very helpful in this regard. Contact the individual schools and ask for stats (some may not divulge these to you; in these cases just use collegeboard) that can help you determine whether the school is a safety/good-fit/reach. Another thing you can do is look at institutions that have strong grad. programs in polisci; often a strong graduate program can translate into a relatively comprehensive undergraduate program.</p>
