<p>Also, I'm an Asian-American male, if that helps (or should I say if that hurts, haha). What are my chances of getting into Columbia Engineering for Computer Science?</p>

<p>Why would you want to transfer to Columbia? JHU is a great school and I doubt that JHU education is significantly inferior to that of Columbia…</p>

<p>Anyway…
high school records don’t matter much as it would if you were a Freshmen Applicant(still not something to overlook),and your college grades matter much more. If you pull out good essays, there may be a chance, but there are two disadvantages</p>

<ol>
<li>Transfer admission will be much harder than freshmen year admission.</li>
<li>Being an Asian-American HURTS you. </li>
</ol>

<p>Your JHU GPA and high school records are on the track, but it will be hard. </p>

<p>Good luck </p>

<p>@paul2752‌ Yes, I’m aware that JHU vs Columbia doesn’t have much of a difference. It’s more of the city of Baltimore that I’m not a huge fan of and Columbia is just a lot closer to home–only a one-hour train ride away.</p>

<p>Thanks for the answer, it was really helpful :)</p>

<p>Columbia College is actually quite difficult to transfer into, but the Engineering School does take a lot of trasnfers. They have a lot of combined programs. </p>
