Transfer Chances? North East

Transfer Students
1

<p>In the Fall I will be starting at Arizona State, and already have a feeling I want to transfer. During the college process I didn’t have much motivation and applied to a bunch of easy schools in the North East. I chose ASU, because it has the biggest name out of all the schools I was accepted to. I thought this would benefit in the transfer process. I will be a civil engineering major, and possibly change to an ecnomics or finance major. Hypethetically, if I were to earn a 3.7gpa, what schools in the North East will I have a chance at being accepted to as a sophmore transfer?
My high school gpa was about average (3.5UW) and SATS VERY low (1040/1600).
Some schools I had in mind were: (what are my chances)
Northeastern
NYU
Lehigh
Fairfield
Holy Cross
And what schools with my stats will I have a chance at in the north east?</p>

<p>(Please don’t say just see if you like it first. I plan on that, but I just wanna keep my options open, and go to a more acdemically driven school)</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>In @ Northeastern, Fairfield
Eh shot @ Holy Cross, Lehigh ~30%+
Probably not @ NYU, especially Stern </p>

<p>I’d apply to BU as well and some of the smaller liberal arts schools like Hamilton if that interests you at all.</p>

<p>Holy Cross is pretty tough to transfer into generally since their freshman retention rate is one of the highest, in the top ten of all liberal arts colleges nationally so there are very few open slots.</p>

<p>If you wait and transfer for your junior year, your SAT score will matter less. You can also retake the SAT (and take the ACT for that matter) again in college. The collegeboard website and a sticky in the transfer student forum have admission rates for transfer students, so that’s a good place to start with chances.</p>
