Chance a prospective ecology student (Fall 2025) [TX resident, transfer applicant, <$18k]

I’ve looked into WashU’s biology program now that you mention it - very impressive, shame I never heard of it sooner. Though now I’m curious as to why you suggest them over a school like Cornell. Are they significantly less competitive to get into? The common data suggests a transfer acceptance rate of 17%, which isn’t bad, but still definitely a challenge.

Also, do you know how important standardized test scores will be when applying as a transfer? I know mine are under the 25 percentile mark.
