Hey guys, I'm a freshman engineering student at Virginia Tech, and I am applying for a transfer at UVa next year. I need some feedback on my transfer admission chances. Here are my statistics:

-Looking at around a 3.3-3.4 GPA
-1400 SAT's
-Waitlisted for first year admission
-2 siblings attending UVa
-In FLEX (freshman SGA extension)
-Pledging to a fraternity
-In Residence Hall Federation (RHF)
-Community service every weekend

Hey, i'm a freshman at VT too looking to transfer.
-3.7 HS GPA
-1380 SAT
-3.5 college GPA (hopin maybe a bit higher because of B+ grading in a class)
-good ECs
-in-state
-female

your GPA might be a tad low, but apperently they accept about half of transfers into E-school...it'd be nice to know their average GPA (college or high school) and SATs, but noo, good ole UVA wont say
are you OOS? if not, you've got a decent shot i'd say...if not...i hope you like it here, cuz apperently UVA is worse than here about OOS kids
shoot me a message if you want to talk some more about the apps and stuff

by the way, im not so sure if its a good idea to put on your apps things like RHF/RA positions/frats, because doesn't it look bad that you make a big commitment like that, then leave the school? im not sure about what to do about that (im RHF too)...i know some frat chapters let you just switch schools and remain in the frat, but RHF is a bit more school-based obviously...

I was told that the average college GPA of transfers was 3.5 and the SAT was an average of 1200

Yeah you have good stats. Just try. I think you'll get it.

BTW what high school did you go to? Was it in Loudoun County, VA?
