<p>hi, i am a frosh at uconn and thinking about transfering to wes. nothing is certain yet of course, but the more i think about wes the more i wish i had chosen to go there. i was waitlisted last year, but was also waitlisted at 2 other schools i wanted to go to more so didn't pursue it. i did pretty well in hs, i had a A- gpa, and had a lot of activities, was a big student leader. i was also in a lot of activisty orgs like greenpeace and amnesty. my sat's were around 2100 (honestly, i feel i'm the only person on here who doesn't have them memorized) and my bio, us hist, eng lit, and writing sat 2s were all 740s and above. </p>
<p>my main reasons of wanting to transfer are because uconn doesn't seem like the right fit for me. i feel a lot more passionate than a lot of these kids and want a school that doesn't have such a drinking culture and obsession with sports. i'm in the honors program here too, and i feel that even my honors classes aren't challenging, i did harder work in high school.</p>
<p>my college grades will probably be B+ to A, because I am not having any serious problems. i was cum laude in my hs, am a certified EMT, and basically am a very genuine, interested person in life; something which i feel sets me apart from a lot of the other uconn students.</p>
<p>anyway, the two things i'm worried about are</p>
<p>a. recs, because i don't know a lot of my teachers super well because they are big classes and </p>
<p>b. getting in! i don't know if i can deal with all this college app drama again if i don't get in.</p>
<p>to make matters more complicated, i am also still waitlisted for a uconn program that will give me contigent admission into med school, and the woman keeps telling my mom to "keep her fingers crossed". if i don't get into that, then i will definitely want to transfer, and i feel that i have a much better knowledge now of what i want so i would only apply to 3-5 schools.</p>
<p>anyway is there any advice anyone here could give me? how likely it is to get in, or just advice in general about the transferring process?</p>
<p>thanks a lot!</p>
