GW vs MIAMI vs USC vs SYRACUSE

<p>Hey All-</p>

<p>I am right now enrolled at the University of Alabama, but I want to transfer.
I hear Miami and Syracuse will take transfers for the Spring 2014 (mid year) so that I can still be a freshman at those schools. Is that true?</p>

<p>If I get at least a 3.7 in my courses, will I be able to be accepted into Miami or Syracuse as a mid year transfer? What about if I completed my Freshman year of college with a 3.8-3.9 with 30 credits. What would my chances be to get into Miami, Syracuse, GW or USC (Southern California)</p>

<p>Is there anyone that can tell me a little about these 3 schools and the differences between all? Maybe a suggestion of where I would belong best?</p>

<p>I’d like to be apart of Greek Life, I am very interested in a school with an active Greek Life. How are these schools when it comes to having sophomores rush? Do they keep a more open mind about it, or are some against sophomore PNMs and make it more difficult for them? </p>

<p>Im interested in:
Kappa Kappa Gamma (USC)
SDT (Syracuse and Miami)
AEPHi (GW)</p>

<p>I do love to party and am looking for a place that has fun night life and places where I can have great experiences. I am also very serious about my school work. I don’t mind cold weather, in fact, I love it and love winter fashion. I love the Party Scene from Miami, USC because I love LA and it is a second home to me as I go every summer, and I like Syracuse due to their weather, area, student body, academics and sports, but I have heard that their social scene is not a big Hype. </p>

<p>I love DC and have heard GW is an amazing university. Education is top tier, but I heard night life is only so-so. I also heard that the student body that goes there is very sheltered and most come from very affluent families, especially if apart of Greek Life. I had a cousin that attended GW for her Freshman year and then became a transfer to USC. She said that the Girls were stuck up and had a lot of money, most of which blew their money on designer bags and mani pedis, she said the guys had a sort of “entitlement” to everything as well. She said she loves USC so much better and that it was the best decision she ever made. </p>

<p>My cousin and I although are nothing alike. I do enjoy the “finer” things in life and can get along perfectly and fit in with anyone, whether they come from money or not. </p>

<p>If I could have some more info on GW as well, that would be great!</p>

<p>I have some insight on GW as a rising freshman and my experience with the university thus far. I think GW is rated on College ******* as having an A/A+ ranking for nightlife. GW has a great club scene and greek life is pretty good too. Everything you are mentioning is offered at GW. From orientation being phenomenal, to the caring professors…GW has it all. YES, students are wealthy, but most are humble about it. Feel free to message me sm119sm! I would love to help.</p>

<p>gw has sophomore rush. i dont think miami is actually in miami and, as i understand it, usc is in a pretty awful part of town. gw is right in ‘downtown’ dc where the action is at. probably not the best forum to ask about admission chances for schools that arent gw. apply to gw if you’re into political or international relations stuff, otherwise stick with usc. the weather is better and it’s a bit higher ranked</p>
