Worth a shot?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hey guys,
I have some questions to ask about my chances at some prestigious schools.</p>

<p>I am now attending washu as a freshman.
My first semester ended with 3.75. My classes were quite rigorous, including Calculus III, which deals with multivariables, and physics class with calculus. In those classes, I mostly got A. </p>

<p>My high school records are very competitive with my SAT I 2320 and three 800s in physics, Math IIc and world history. I also took lots of APs in my high school, too.</p>

<p>My strength, as a candidate for transter, is that I have a very straightforward reason to transfer to some schools, although I said "prestigious" above. My future goal is quite related with a certain field of mathematics which washu does not provide me with. And I am mainly targeting for U of Chicago, Penn, Dartmouth, and Brown. </p>

<p>I know my gpa is relatively low as a candidate to those schools but I am really really eager to transfer to those schools. Is it worth a shot to apply them? Or do you recommend me to increase my gpa and apply them in the next year? I seriously need your helps! :)</p>

<p>If your high school record is Ivy-worthy, you must be a competitive candidate. 3.75 in a first semester at WashU taking Calc III is actually pretty good.</p>

<p>do it! consider that not ALL transfers get to take calculus III! although your gpa is not 4.00 and considering how hard your classes are, it is totally worth a shot!</p>
