I currently attend a top 20 school according to Forbes, a top 30 according to US News.
Reason for transferring: want to go into sustainability, and my school’s program is lacking in that field (environmental science/urban planning). It’s a bummer because I truly love my school and the students there.
Stats:
-4.0 uw high school GPA, valedictorian
-3.9175 college GPA
-34 ACT superscore
Schools I’m applying to (sophomore transfer, would repeat part or all of sophomore year):
Brown, Pomona, Northwestern, Yale, Cornell (?)
I’m active on campus and am involved in the newspaper and a couple sustainability clubs. I also do a work study.
How would applying for FA affect my chances? I’ve heard that it’s harder to get in as a transfer if you ask for FA.
