<p>As the title says, I am a rising Junior at a top 20 LAC. For a multitude of reasons I am looking at transferring to a more profession-oriented school. Do I have a chance in getting into schools like Wisconsin, Georgetown, Boston College or UCLA?</p>
<p>Stats:
Current Political Science and Economics major
3.1 college GPA
3.3 hs GPA
2100 SAT
30 ACT
2 years of Division III college football
Current summer intern for a US Senator in my home state</p>
<p>Any advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>Are you going to attend your jr year and try to transfer as a sr, or are you planning on applying during a gap year?</p>
<p>Have you checked the college websites to see how your stats stack up for transfer admissions? For example:</p>
<p>[Transfer</a> Admission Procedures - Office of Undergraduate Admission - Boston College](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/admission/undergrad/transfer/admissionprocedures.html]Transfer”>http://www.bc.edu/content/bc/admission/undergrad/transfer/admissionprocedures.html)</p>
<p>[Transfer</a> Admission Guide - UCLA Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/tradms.htm]Transfer”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_tr/tradms.htm)</p>
<p>Are you IS for either of the publics?</p>
<p>I think it is possible to transfer with those grades. However, I don’t know if you can transfer at this point. You may need to take a gap year in order to transfer.</p>
<p>What is a profession oriented school?</p>
<p>^Lots of students heading towards professional schools like law, medicine or business, as opposed to grad school.</p>
<p>

<p>Take a look at the links I gave for BC and UCLA. Gt is as difficult to transfer to, if not more so.</p>
<p>Thanks everyone for the help!</p>
<p>Can anyone weigh in on how the academic stature of my current school will affect a transfer application? I hope 2 years at my school, which is known for being quite difficult, would carry some weight.</p>
