Bump. And if one did drop a class, receiving a “W” on the transcript after it has been sent to a university for transfer consideration, would it make sense to call/email them asap or could one wait until after […]

So my college transcripts have been sent to the schools I will be applying to already, but for a number of reasons, I have decided that it will be best for me to drop a course this semester receiving a […]

I was reading through the transferbook and you mentioned that LORs should be inquired upon in Jan along with the transcripts, and that the application essays should be completed in Jan. Any suggestions on who to […]

Do you recommend any sources in particular for doing well on the SAT I or do you feel as if it tests test-taking ability and cannot be really improved upon? If I have 6 weeks left (40 days) do you feel as if it is […]

Makes sense, I think I’ll apply to my target schools clearly stating my interests and hopefully the “fit” factor via personalized “common essays” makes a difference. Thanks a lot for the post, very helpful. […]

I greatly appreciate the advice. In regards to the Midterm report that I will be sending to several schools, the common app form only allows for 5 classes and I plan on taking 6 or 7 in the upcoming semester (due […]

Thanks a lot, the professor cosigning sounds like a great idea I’ll definitely look into that. Also do you feel as if there might be any benefit in sending 3 recommendations even though all of the schools I am […]

husky31 started the topic Instructor Evaluations in the forum Four-Year Transfers 11 years, 5 months ago

Do most top colleges not care whether your common app instructor evaluations are from a professor vs a TA? My TA’s for the most part know me a great deal better than my professors (who lecture only ) and could […]

Lets say that I’m interested in two majors: either economics or sociology and I can only put down one for my application. Though my extracurricular achievements in economics far surpass my record in sociology […]

Some of the schools I’ll be applying to for transfer have February/March application due dates that are “rolling”. If I intend on applying for Fall 2013 Transfer, would there be any benefit to sending my […]

Thanks, you were right! I ended up getting an A on my first corporate finance midterm worth 50% of the grade so I’m going to stick it out and not quit in order to at the worst get like an A-

husky31 replied to the topic Withdraw or Take a B? in the forum Four-Year Transfers 11 years, 6 months ago

Also I could probably withdraw and take an independent study if that makes a difference, automatic A and since I’ll be applying to liberal arts colleges then it might be easier to excuse the withdrawal in that I’m […]

Anyone know of any stories where a sub 3.0 high school student successfully transfers into a top 15 or ivy league school? Is this even possible? (I have a 3.9+ through my first year at state school, and am not […]

I assume that most of the elite LAC’s are as competitive as the top ivies, but are there any that are equivalent to the competitiveness of say Upenn or Brown? (around 10-20% acceptance rate)?
