@collegemom3717 I have not checked out BC; I’ll throw that into the research mix. I have looked at NYU and UMi. I prefer UMi to NYU, but still have NYU in consideration.
I’m leaning toward primarily making my argument surround the strength of philosophy departments at the schools I’m applying to. The current econ dept at my school is quite good. The phil department is decent, but due to low number of majors is not at the same funding and staffing level of other departments at the school.
In regards to Brown, my college GPA is below their average for accepted transfers. They list GPAs trending upward from previous years: 3.87, 3.88, 3.89. Would mine perhaps be overlooked slightly for being on the low side since I have essentially a 4.0 in the major I’m applying under? Or is Brown a less likely admit from the colleges I listed. I took a science class first semester simply out of interest and ended it w/ a B which brought down my GPA.
