<p>anybody know anything about transferring to American?</p>
<p>what do u want to know?</p>
<p>is it hard to get in? whats life at American like?</p>
<p>two very broad questions… if u have a 1.0 gpa, then yes it will be hard to get in. Be more specific.</p>
<p>Life at AU is AMAZING. The social life is great, the profs are talaneted, and the people are really really nice (ie: me!!!)</p>
<p>plus u have DC is your backyard, yet unlike g-town and GW there is still a nice campus & community. </p>
<p>feel free to ask me here of PM me w/ anyother questions…</p>
<p>~alyssa</p>
<p>is there anything that you dislike about AU?</p>
<p>haha no… i am slighly obsessed w/ my college… just every so slightly…</p>
<p>somethings that i know others don’t like:
$$$ costs a lot of money to go here…
people are VERY much so into politcs… if u don’t like politcs… or you don’t care about governmental affairs… don’t go here
there is like a 60/40 split between females to males (although most of my friends are guys… strange)… if your coming from like an all girls school… and u want a college with LOTS of guy… don’t go here…
its not in the “heart” of the city persay… like u have to take a shuttle ride (free btw) and hop on a metro… in order to get into the heart of DC… if u want to be in a place w/ no campus… and you hear cars pass by your dorm… don’t go here…</p>
<p>idk… i mean there is other stuff… if u tell me more about your likes/ dislikes… and what your looking for in a college… ask… and i can gauge my responses better…</p>

<p>I’m currently at a large state school…definately not an all female school…I actually applied to American as a frosh applicant two years ago but I dont remember much…</p>
<p>Whats the dating scene like @ American?</p>
<p>That’s actually kinda interesting. Now that I’m actually in I’m currious to see what kind of people are at American. When I did research on American I used flickr.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.■■■■■■■■■■/photos/tags/americanuniversity/[/url]”>http://www.■■■■■■■■■■/photos/tags/americanuniversity/</a></p>
<p>Check out all the interesting people. Hopefully you should get an idea of what American’s like…I think.</p>
<p>…or u could just ask me… seeing as i live here!!!</p>
<p>AU is great… people date… a lot of my friends have relationships… but yet again its college… some people… (oh totalty not me… okay so maybe a little) like to get drunk and hook up w/ guys… other perfer then relationship route… its all up 2 u… and AU has all forms of dating… gay, straight, bi, hook ups, serious relationships… open relations… much like everyother college campus… again once u get to a pt where it doesn’t really matter what college u go 2… you aren’t going to have much of a dating/ social life if u stay in your dorm room all day/ night…</p>
<p>anyway hope that helps… </p>

<p>Actually the more I read about American, the more I’m liking it. I’m glad that people are into politics and from what I can tell people like to venture off into the city.</p>
<p>Neat.</p>
<p>How often do you go into DC?</p>
<p>…well i live in dc…so i’m there 24/7 
</p>
<p>do u mean heart of dc? well i like shopping… i go to g-town gto shop once every 2 weeks… i like to go clubbin’ usually like twice a month (plus its FREE in DC… that is if u get there befiore 11 (some places eevn 11:30) … so we get there at like 10:55 or like 11:25… then yeah… its cool… and were’re there when everyone is like there…</p>
<p>the monuments are always cool as well… go to them at times (when like friends come to visit)</p>
<p>like in total (well again it depends where in the heart of dc u want to go) it takes about 25 mins… (5 min shuttle ride… 20 min on the metro) to get into heart of dc…</p>
<p>hope that helps :)</p>
<p>~alyssa</p>
<p>yeah it does!!! Thanks for all your help…
Do you know anything about transfer admissions? Like typical stats to get in? What are the dorms like?</p>
<p>According to College Board (I don’t know what year), the total number of transfer students who applied was 1,477, and of those, 1,015 were admitted. That’s about a 69% admittance rate for transfers. Transfer admissions requirements for AU can be found at: <a href=“http://admissions.american.edu/public/contentPage/contentPage.asp?navID=132&parId=305&childId=2984&docID=2867[/url]”>http://admissions.american.edu/public/contentPage/contentPage.asp?navID=132&parId=305&childId=2984&docID=2867</a>
