<p>On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the most difficult to transfer into) and using any knowledge you have of these schools, rank the universities I have listed below. I am trying to come up with a more refined list of schools I will be applying to. Thanks!</p>
<ul>
<li>University of Connecticut</li>
<li>Penn State University Park</li>
<li>University of Maryland</li>
<li>Towson University</li>
<li>University of Pittsburgh</li>
</ul>
<p>What are you stats like first of all? We cant help you if we dont know how good or how bad your stats are.</p>
<p>What are you majoring in? Its hard to rank colleges in general when they all have their own strengths. Based on general acceptance statistics it would be something like this , but they are all really close.
U Maryland
U Pittsburgh
Penn State
U Conn
Towson</p>
<p>Like nyu44 said though, you should post some stats if you want to know the difficulty of transferring into these colleges.</p>
<p>Oh wow, I’m sorry, I meant to copy and paste my statistics in from an earlier post and I didn’t notice somehow. Here they are…</p>
<p>I am currently a freshman at Marywood University and I am looking to transfer to elsewhere next year. Since it is only the end of the first semester, I only have those grades to share with you, which are all A’s and B’s (3.4 GPA). I also write for the school’s paper, work as a DJ for my school’s radio station, and am about to take a leadership position in a club I am enrolled in (Public Relations Student Society of America - this is also related to my major). I am thinking of joining Student Government to show my leadership schools and boost my chances of being admitted. I plan to participate in any of these things that are offered wherever I am admitted and also I was also granted a tryout for UConn’s track team.</p>
<p>I do not have my have my exact high school statistics on hand, but I know my final GPA was 3.4 and my SAT scores were mostly average and above average in some areas.</p>
<p>Let’s just say my final GPA comes to between 3.5-3.8. With all this in mind, what are my chances? Thanks guys.</p>
<p>RF- you got a good shot at all of them. Are you from pennsylvania
?</p>
<p>Yes, I am from Pennsylvania, why?</p>
<p>then you should have good shot at both of the pennsylvania schools.</p>
<p>That helps, anything helps really…thanks nyu44</p>
<p>Which college is your first choice?</p>
<p>UMD is my first choice and UConn is a pretty close second. I also added Ithaca College to my list and that is my third choice…</p>
<p>oh ok cool.</p>
<p>10 Penn State University Park
U Maryland
U Pittsburgh
U Conn
1 Towson</p>
<p>yeah I would say PSU, UConn, and Maryland are all pretty close.</p>
<p>hey jec7483 and dzirob33, thanks for your insights.</p>
<p>I actually have another question within this thread that I hope can be answered…</p>
<p>I have come to understand that a good amount of kids who transfer are kids who are coming from community colleges with a 4.0 GPA. How would I (and others) be weighed against these kids with a 3.5-3.8 GPA coming from a 4-year school?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
