Where are you coming from? Why do you want to transfer to Colgate?

It's going to be tough- they accepted only 15% of transfers last year. But it's possible since I had similiar stats to yours when I applied for transfer and here I am

berthran

I applied for transfer admission too. Still waiting. I really, really want to get in.

rt87

did you apply for spring or fall?

berthran

Spring. My first semester as a freshman.

rt87

Cool good luck. I'm pretty sure I had no chance at spring, it's much more difficult, I think. Virtually based entirely upon high school work, isn't it?

berthran

I don't know whether it is much more difficult. What I know is that you have to try first and believe in yourself that it will happen, and it will be reality.
You're applying for the fall? Hope we meet at Colgate then.

rt87

Yep, I hope so. What do you plan on majoring in? and where are you going to school now?

berthran

I am still indecise. I know it will be among biology, chemistry, physics, and math. I love them. I don't know what to choose. I am attending a community college in maryland. I am international.
