early decision/action transfer chances? Forum

[transferhopeful12]

Around top 20% (could be a little bit in either direction) at UCLA/Vanderbilt/Texas. Can anyone render a guess on my chances at early action transfer to Georgetown, either into full-time or part-time? Is it worth throwing an app to Chicago or should I not even waste my time?

Thanks so much for your help

I would think you're pretty much a lock at Georgetown, and it would definitely be worthwhile throwing an app at Chicago - your chances aren't as high as GULC, but pretty good nonetheless.

I think the better question is why would you want to transfer to GULC?

Seriously.

Wants to work in the DC area? Seriously, there are good reasons to go to GULC.

thanks so much for the response, I hope so. Yeah, the main reason is that I want to work in DC and do something government-related after school. I also don't like the market I'm in now and its difficult to get out to the east coast.

sorry to piggy-back on this but what do you think of my chances at Georgetown EA, top 20-25% at USC?

bump.

I know it hasn't been that long but I don't think many east-coasters were up at 5am when I posted

I think you chances would be very good assuming you can get decent recs. Like the OP, however, I think it doesn't really make much sense unless you want to be in DC/on the east coast or if you want to do federal government work.
