<p>I'm a student at a community college and want to transfer to well ranked school for aeronautical engineering, but not a super elite school like MIT or anything because I wouldn't get in. I have a 3.4/3.5 and will have all of the requirements i need by the time i transfer. I've been looking at Texas A&M, Purdue, Virginia Tech, and cal poly slo but I'm not quite sure what kind of grades you need to get in to any of those. Any suggestions? Thanks</p>
<p>Websites for the individual departments/schools will show you what kind of gpa you’ll need to get in. </p>
<p>A bigger issue is whether any of the schools you’re looking at will even take an out-of-state transfer from a community college. Usually, the easiest transfers from cc’s to state u’s are done within the given state.</p>
<p>Also, if you go to a University out of state you could pay a boatload of money. Usually it is cheaper to go in-state.</p>
<p>Yea I’m willing to pay the extra out of state tuition as long as it’s a highly ranked school. Also I checked on the gpa for most of these schools and pretty much all of them just say a minimum of 3.0 for engineering, but don’t give any specifics.</p>
<p>if they want a 3.0 for engineering you should be fine, just keep working on keeping those grades up while you can.</p>
<p>Anyways, as a starting point, here are some of the best aerospace engineering programs according to US News:</p>
<p>Colleges That Offer Undergraduate And Graduate Aerospace Programs:
1 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA
2 Georgia Institute of Technology Atlanta, GA
3 University of Michigan–Ann Arbor Ann Arbor, MI
4 Purdue University–West Lafayette West Lafayette, IN
5 California Institute of Technology Pasadena, CA
6 University of Illinois–Urbana-Champaign Champaign, IL
7 Stanford University Stanford, CA
8 University of Texas–Austin Austin, TX
9 University of Maryland–College Park College Park, MD
10 Virginia Tech Blacksburg, VA </p>
<p>Colleges That Only Offer Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering:
1 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
2 United States Air Force Academy USAF Academy, CO
3 Embry Riddle Aeronautical University–Prescott Prescott, AZ
4 United States Naval Academy Annapolis, MD
5 California Polytechnic State University–San Luis Obispo San Luis Obispo, CA</p>
<p>I think you could definitely be a transfer candidate at Virginia Tech or Purdue or Embry Riddle</p>
<p>The questions are following:</p>
<p>What’s your overall transferable GPA?</p>
<p>What’s your transferable math/science GPA?</p>
<p>If you have over 3.5 for both, you got very good chance at Georgia Tech.</p>
<p>My overall transferable gpa is 3.4/3.5 and my Math/physics/chem gpa is around 3.1</p>
