<p>Hi there, I'm currently a student at a university ranked between 70 and 80 on USNews. I am a sophomore in my 3rd semester and considering transferring. The main reasons I cite are:</p>
<p>*lack of connection and rapport with the general student body
-I should clarify here. i've made many friends here and there are a lot of bright young individuals at this university. that said, i'm not sure if it's just reflective of our generation but there is a lot of disheartening entitlement and group/self-centrism among the students here. also, there appears to be a huge lack of intellectual curiosity at this university. in general, the students here treat the purpose of school work and classes as strictly vocational. in addition, i've literally met only a tiny handful of students interested in the same things as me. rather, most are instead concerned with drinking, clubbing, and perusing social media sites. </p>
<p>*i want the opportunities a top 15 university would provide</p>
<p>As a junior I will be:
Stats: college gpa: 3.81
SAT: 2120
Involved well on campus and in the community. 2 major leadership positions.</p>
<p>I would try to enter my spring of my junior year. so i would apply fall of my junior year.</p>
<p>Would my attempts be in vain? Is there really no reason to do this? Would I even have a chance at such universities?</p>
<p>do schools look poorly on applying so late? would it even be worth it applying with only 3 semesters left?</p>
<p>thank you for taking the time to read this.</p>
