<p>I'm a transfer applicant, from a relatively unknown 4yr school on the east coast. I'm in my second year here applying for Arts & Sciences.</p>
<p>GPA is only 3.65
SAT 1260
Tough classes, many types
ECs over 100hrs in HS and some in College
Minor work experience
Essay is really good (I think)
2 recs that are pretty good
Midyear GPA is 4.0</p>
<p>What do you guys think?</p>
<p>bump....^^^^</p>
<p>Your SAT is too low (even on the old scale), but then again I don't know how it works for transfers.</p>
<p>Combination of SAT, GPA, and the school you are applying from will be a problem.</p>
<p>yea I know the SAT is terrible but I'm a transfer so I doubt it will be held against me, my gpa is ok for now but remember if they really consider my midterm grades I can be around a 3.8 which I hope they will. Plus won't it help that I'm from NYC? I know they want to improve their diversity.</p>
<p>Actually Princeton Review says the majority of their students are from NY and NJ, so being from NYC isn't an advantage.</p>
<p>SATs will matter less the longer that you've been in college.</p>
<p>that's strange that a school out midwest would have so many students from the tri-state area, you guys aren't giving me a good feeling here I thought I had a really good chance, my midterm grades are really good so I hope they consider that a lot.</p>
<p>yeah unfortunately NY and the other northeastern states, along with Cali, are heavily represented at most top colleges because of their excellent education systems. You typically have an advantage if you're from the northwest area (idaho, dakotas, etc.) or the south (miss, arkansas, etc., and to a lesser extent, Texas is underrepresented at some schools).</p>
<p>yea I figured that, you don't see too many guys from places like Wyoming in top schools, but I'm still hoping somebody tells me I have a good chance on here. Not that it will matter, I'll just hope for the best.</p>
<p>I wouldn't see it as a negative either though; just realize being from NY is not an advantage at most (if any) top schools.</p>
<p>hmmm....although your stats are low, I think if your essays are compelling you will have a good chance of getting in. I have about the same stats like yours, and I was accepted in the first round. You should've applied earlier.</p>
<p>i think you have a good chance actually. my stats were a little lower and i got in as a transfer. Show TONS of interest thats what i did</p>
<p>sorry. I think it's even harder for transfers than prospective freshmen. sorry.</p>
<p>^^^ I don't.</p>
<p>yah, they let in assclowns like me into washu </p>
<p>speaking of which, have you admitted transfers registered for classes? i just did this last friday...</p>
<p>lmao ^^^</p>
<p>I just got back in town and checked the mail to find my email account info. I'm kinda irritated though cause I can't find where we change our password and I know I'll never remember this weird one they've given me. How'd you register for classes imran?</p>
<p>Brand, i think there was an option of the left hand side of the sign-in page where you can change your password. I think that is how I did it. BTW, I call ed WashU and they told me that I will receive my webSTAC to register for classes on June 1st.</p>
<p>Ok cool deal...that gives me just enough time ;)</p>
<p>oh for registering, my 4 yr advisor emailed me, i emaield her back, prepared my writing portfolio, visited the campus last monday, handed taht in, met with my advisor, who opened up a slot for me to register this last friday, and then I just called the admissions office and they gave me my pin/password.</p>
<p>I got my WebSTAC and my courses if anyone wants to discuss, how about we set up a thread? Yahoo.</p>
