Hey guys,

I am not very happy with Northwestern and I’m wondering about my chances for transferring to Stanford and also some details. I’m a chemical engineering freshman. My current GPA at Northwestern is 4.0, and I’ll be done with more than 2/3 of my bachelor degree after my sophomore year (when I plan to transfer somewhere). I have been taking 5 classes per quarter (regular load is 4 classes, 5 is considered overload). I’m also currently set to start undergraduate research next Fall, so I will be able to get a recommendation from my research adviser (who is also the professor of the organic chemistry class I got the second highest grade in, so he might be able to say something about my academics). I don’t have any EC’s here except for a community service club.

I was wondering if anyone transferred into Stanford engineering, or if anyone knows how hard it is. And for anyone who has transferred, if there was any problem with transferring the credits.

Thanks a lot!
