Transfer Chance and Advice?

Hi :-)

I’m a rising sophomore this year at my local LAC and I was looking into transferring to Hamilton mainly because the English program at my current school isn’t that great and I want to major in creative writing and also maybe music composition (which my school also has none of).

In high school, I had around a 3.6 gpa, my ACT was a 33-34, and I had an average amount of ECs. I got into Illinois-Wesleyan, Knox, Emerson, Brandeis, and wait listed at NYU.

My current gpa in college at the end of freshman year is a 3.52. I work at the writing center and write for the campus newspaper. My fiction professor loves me and thinks I’m an amazing writer, so I think I could get a great recommendation from her.

I’ve also heard that Hamilton is really big on school interest. I was wondering if the best thing for my essay would be to write about what Hamilton offers that my current school does not and how it would help me with my career goals. I’ve also noticed that the interview is important and was wondering if anyone has any advice on nailing it?

Thanks!
