TRANSFER: Midd to Dartmouth

Transfer Students

<p>HELP!
i want to transfer from Middlebury to Dartmouth but I dont think I will get in.</p>

<p>I got into Dartmouth the first tiem around and realized I made a mistake by picking Midd.
But… my grades here have not been very good… 3.3 GPA.
I just had a lot of trouble adjusting… but now I feel adjusted and want to transfer!
I could take the SATs again and improve them (I got in last time with 1200)
I also have a coach to help.
SO… does anyone have any idea what my chances would be? Does getting in once help because now I really see no hope with a 3.3 GPA
(in high school I had a high GPA … but let me tell you… high school is a LOOOOOOOT easier than Middlebury.)
thanks guys</p>

<p>oh yea… plus ive got no one to write my recommendations… and my deans wont be very good because ive gone to her so many times crying saying i cant handle the workload… but now i htink i can! i swear!
aaah</p>

<p>why transfer out of Middlebury? I’m thinking of trying to transfer in, and the percentage is something like 5%. I’d stay where you are and tough it out. It’s a great school.</p>

<p>Hrmm if you rejected Dartmouth in the first place, why would they accept you again? Sorry if I sound cynical, I just don’t think it’ll happen…</p>

<p>I would definitely apply. If you got in the first time i would say you have a good chance of getting in again. The key is explaining your reasons for transfer. 3.3 (B+)isnt bad at all especially at midd. I am applying for transfer between 2 competitive schools right now so i am in a similar position to you. anyway if you have any questions or want to discuss the matter further just send me a message : <a href=“mailto:stosti@jhu.edu”>stosti@jhu.edu</a></p>
