Transfer from WashU to Columbia Advice

I assume you applied to Columbia and weren’t accepted ?

It won’t be easy - just as WUSTL won’t be easy. If you were turned down out of HS, it will be even harder (I believe). That said, I wouldn’t diminish yourself - because WUSTL took you and unless ED, it’s a very hard admit as well…so congrats.

But here’s what you need below. Good luck to you - but I have a feeling you’re going to love WUSTL - what a gorgeous campus and fantastic dorms!! Go all in there so you have a wonderful first year vs. having one foot out the door!!

Good luck.

The majority of successful applicants to Columbia Engineering have completed an engineering track curriculum. For applicants with first-year standing at time of application this includes:

  • Two semesters of Calculus
  • Two semesters of Physics
  • One semester of Chemistry

They also mention a 3.5 in major and overall.
