<p>Hello there, </p>
<p>So even though I do like my Michigan state school very much and receive a very generous amount of merit and financial aid, I’m curious about my chances/advantages/finances if I were to transfer to Western. </p>
<p>Why I like it: located in a great town, known as a great research university in Canada, somewhat close to my house (less than 2 hours), I know someone who had a good experience there at the MA level, and I’m interested in potentially moving to Canada when I’m older. </p>
<p>My major: undecided, but I do have a passion for writing. I’d love to write for the rest of my life. </p>
<p>My stats from my university:</p>
<p>Rising sophomore, 3.96 GPA.</p>
<p>My stats from high school:</p>
<p>4.0 UW, 4.1 W GPA
27 ACT (28 E, 27 M, 26 S, 29 R, 10 W)
AP World: 3
Ap Lit: 4
Ap Calc: 1 (…)
President of class (so student council), NHS member, copy editor of yearbook, drama club actor/production writer, 60ish documented hours of volunteering, have held a steady job since 15, student ambassador, graduated top ten of class, softball, bowling, and quiz bowl (captain). </p>
<p>I’m not certain if this is an even remotely possible switch for me, but I thought I’d feel out people’s opinions about Western and maybe even some other Canadian schools (in Ontario) that might be a match for me. </p>
<p>I guess I just feel like I’ve lived a truly mediocre life here in MI, as evident by my ACT/AP scores and my current state u. Just looking to maybe change it up, and Canada seems sane enough to be safe. Plus I really like the people and country. I sometimes feel like I live on the wrong side of the border.</p>
