Columbia University Transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, I am a current freshman at The University of Texas, and I am looking to transfer to Columbia next fall (Fall 2015). I have looked over the terms for transfer students, and I am wondering if I have a chance of getting i.
My qualifications:

  1. I have a 3.701 gpa at The University of Texas (I am taking a mini winter class at a local community college which may also bump my overall gpa)
  2. I am involved in Longhorn Band, Black Business Student Association, and BSA on campus. I hold leadership positions in all of these. I will most likely get more involved over the semester in other stuff.
  3. I was held leadership positions in band in high school. I also was an officer on NHS, a student officer, and members of Spanish Honor Society and Science Honor Society in high school
  4. I had many accomplishments in hs band and academics. I also had a rank of 16/660.
  5. My SAT score was an 1880 (a little lackluster I know).
  6. I am heavily involved in volunteering
  7. I didn’t really want to put this down, but seeing as it may affect admissions, I guess I should mention that I am African American and live with a single mother and two siblings. </p>

<p>Given the circumstances, I was wondering if I would even have the chance to transfer to Columbia (for English and Economics)?</p>

<p>You’re not the most competitive applicant, but I think you have a chance…even more so if you grew up in an underrepresented state. It’s worth a shot :)</p>

<p>If you are looking for a lot of FA then your chance is not that good</p>

Columbia takes very few transfers
