Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm a current sophomore at Tulane hoping to transfer as a junior. I have a 3.53 GPA (deans list past 2 semesters, GPA shows upward movement, honors student) and a 3.8 from high school. My main reason for transferring is the lack of opportunities Tulane has provided me with. I came in as a poli sci major but now am favoring communications which is a weak program here. I'm also disappointed in our study abroad options and the social scene which has become increasingly overrun with greek life, which I'm kept out of. I love the city of New Orleans so I know it'll be hard to leave, but I feel that Tulane is overshadowed by the city and the actual school I'm at isn't such a good fit for me. I'm originally from NY, but do favor the warm weather. I applied to transfer a bit last minute so my options were limited.
I haven't been accepted anywhere yet but I think I have a good shot at all the schools I've applied to and want to start thinking of what would be the best fit for me so I make the right choice this time. What program I decide I want is going to come into play as well</p>

<ol>
<li>BU (School of Communications for Advertising)</li>
<li>BC (Comm major)</li>
<li>Northeastern (Media Studies/Comm Major)</li>
<li>UDel (Visual Comm BFA)</li>
<li>WashU (Visual Comm BFA)- this one's more of a stretch</li>
<li>stay at Tulane?</li>
</ol>

<p>Boston College is your best bet out of those given your GPA.</p>

<p>I’m not worried about getting in, I’m worried about programs and social life once I get there since I’m already settled in at Tulane. I was wondering if anyone had advice on where would be the best fit for me beyond statistics.</p>

<p>In the end when you have all of your options, you’ll visit and find what fits best… Northeastern is really good if you know EXACTLY what you want to study (which you do!)… you seem to have applied to a lot of schools in Boston, which is such a great college city. BU is amazing and such a diverse school. So definitely if you get it, go! (especially since you ranked it as numer 1)</p>

<p>I actually got into BU as a freshmen and they seem to have the best program for me so im hoping to get in again. I’m nervous about how different it is from my current school though. I’m so used to having a gorgeous traditional campus.</p>
