Colleges & Universities Stanford University

<p>I have a 3.8-4.0 at George Washington University in an honors type program and I am considering transferring to Stanford for sophomore year. I have never applied, and I’m a potential PoliSci-History-Philosophy major/minor.</p>

<p>In high school I had a 3.85 GPA at a top prep school that sends loads of kids to Stanford each year.</p>

<p>SAT 790M, 760V, 620W <—such BS, I was Editor of HS Paper</p>

<p>SATII: 760 M2C, 730 USH, 720 LIT</p>

<p>Do these stats make Stanford realistic? Any input is appreciated, especially if you attend and have transferred, or know people who have transferred in the past.</p>

<p>just a note, our high school paper editor is an idiot in english, so your writing score might not be bs…why didn’t you apply originally?</p>

<p>i’m editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper, and i got a pretty rough score on the ACT writing section (9 out of 12, which when i compared with my friends, is pretty dang low). i really do honestly think there are still kinks to be worked out in grading writing, and it really depends on the person grading it at the time.</p>

<p>i didnt originally apply because im from CA and i didnt think i wanted to go to school on the west coast. i realized that was a poor choice. i got into good schools, arguably better than gw, (wash u, berkeley, ucla, nyu, usc, mich honors) but i wanted to come to DC. kinda regretting that now.</p>

<p>The only way to find out is to try applying…</p>
