What are my chances? Transfer from WPI to CMU or UVA

Transfer Students

<p>Hey,</p>

<p>I'm currently a college freshmen attending WPI, but I'm trying to transfer out of this place to either Carnegie Mellon University, or University of Virginia. I'm really not sure if I have a shot or not. Please someone give me some insight.</p>

<p>My Stats-
Who am I:
I'm a White Male from CT
SATS:
600 Verbal, 660 Math</p>

<p>HS:
3.2 or 3.4 HS GPA bunch of AP courses and junk</p>

<p>College Courses (I've completed half of these already, I'm completeing the rest this semester):
Intro to Program Design - CS1101
Object Oriented Design Concepts-CS 2102
American Drama – EN 2221
Calculus I-IV
Cognitive Psychology -PSY 1401
Intro to Machine Organization and Assembly Language – CS 2011
Systems Programming Concepts – CS 2303
Theater Workshop – EN 2222
Computer Techniques in Music – MU 3611</p>

<p>Major:
-Computer Science</p>

<p>Current College GPA: 3.83
(got A's in everything but a B in my Intro to Programming course)</p>

<p>I got legit recommendations and Essays, I'm not worried about those, as well as extra cirriculars.</p>

<p>Basically I'm banking on my college GPA, but it has only been for one semester so I'm not sure how much they're going to consider that. My SATs are just below or at the %25 I believe for both schools.</p>

<p>My family is also planning on moving to virginia next year, so I figure that might help for UVA if I communicate that to them some how.</p>

<p>Please let me know my odds for CMU or UVA, anything is appreciated, if you need any other info to make a judgement just ask.</p>

<p>-Thanks

<p>I think you should get 30-40 units before applying. Your gpa is solid, but OOS competition is fierce, and although your HS and sats are not bad, it might be what keeps you out.</p>

<p>I don't think Carnegie Mellon will be probable until you've acquired around 2 years worth of college credit to offset your HS GPA. UVA is possible and you've got a pretty tough courseload / good GPA. Give it a shot.</p>
