<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I previous applied to University A for their Biology major back when I was a high school senior. I was accepted to University A as well as some others also for the biology major. However, I ended up attending University B but have since changed my major to Biomedical Engineering at University B.</p>
<p>I’ve decided that I would like to transfer to University A for Biomedical Engineering as a Sophomore since while University B also has such a major, University A has a significantly better engineering program that I am very much interested in.</p>
<p>While I would like to transfer to that college and would most definitely do so if accepted, I don’t regret having first gone to University B. It was there that I decided to change to engineering and the same might not have happened had I first gone to University A so I count this as a growing experience that allowed me to gradually develop a love for engineering. I really believe that attending University A now would greatly help my academic pursuits in engineering so my passion for engineering can advance to a greater mastery (or however continually close it is possibly to get to mastering the ever evolving field of Biomedical Engineering) of it.</p>
<p>Asides from the standard transfer procedure of applying, sending transcripts, letters of recommendation, and related standard application materials, how can I stand out? How does it look to admissions officers that I was previously accepted but declined?</p>
<p>University A’s website says that students who have taken and achieved highly in Mathemathcs and Physics will be granted priority. Problem is, I can’t really show my mettle in those areas except through AP credits (I received a 5 and 4 on Calculus B and Physics B respectively) because I have not yet taken Physics since I’m following University B’s first year engineering track. Secondly, I decided to retake Calculus I despite having recieved credit for it so that I can get further practice of true university level work but even then, my performance in that class will not show up on my transcript as any more than a record saying it has been taken which means a grade will not be shown for said Calculus I class.</p>

<p>Sorry, I don’t mean to be boastful but when I was a senior in high school and had been accepted, my application could be said to be above average and on the upper end of the scale of applicants to University A but I suspect transferring, especially to the engineering department, is more difficult.</p>
<p>Thanks you your help</p>
