Chances of getting into Columbia University as a transfer student?

Question

I currently attended the honors school at Monmouth Univeristy. My gpa in the first semester was a 3.8 and my high school gpa was 3.8 as well. I got a 2000 on my SATs and i have over 1000 hours in community service. If I applied to Columbia University in NYC as a transfer student, what are my chances of getting accepted??

Answer 1

Columbia accepts about 5-10% of the students who apply to transfer into the school. In order to apply, you must have a minimum GPA of 3.5. Your GPA is probably typical of those who apply. However, about 75% of those who apply have a higher SAT score than you do -- and most are transfering from a higher rated school. If you were an average transfer applicant -- I would put your chances at 10%. Since you are slightly below the average, I put your chances lower.

Ivy league schools do not accept very many transfer students (in fact, Princeton does not accept any). Cornell and Penn accept more than other schools in the conference. You might have a better shot at transferring to one of them.

Here is your answer (found on Columbia's website) - the third paragraph addresses transfer students...

How competitive is admission to Columbia?
Admission to both Columbia College and The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science is broad-based but highly selective, and the Committee is able to offer admission to only a small fraction of all applicants.

Last year, 9.1% of first-year applicants to Columbia College were admitted, and approximately 18.6% of first-year applicants to The Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science were admitted.

==> Admission for transfer students is also highly selective. Over the past decade, the Committee has admitted between 5% and 10% of transfer applicants each year.

Requirements for Transfer Admission

You must take or have taken either the SAT or the ACT to be considered for transfer admission, and the scores must be directly reported to Columbia from the appropriate testing agency. If you have previously taken the SAT Subject Tests, those scores must also be officially reported; if you have not taken the SAT Subject Tests, they are not required to be taken at the time of the transfer application.

To apply for transfer admission, you must submit the following:

* The completed online transfer application
* The $70 application fee.
* An official high school transcript (from all schools attended)
* An official college transcript (from all schools attended)
* SAT I or ACT scores (and TOEFL /IELTS scores if necessary; please refer English Language Proficiency Requirements below for further details)
* A letter of recommendation from a college professor
* A Statement of Good Academic Standing from the current institution

--- Good Luck!

Answer 6

Well, you are competitive. Being competitive doesn't give you a good chance because it is sooo selective getting in. More competitive students are rejected than accepted every year. But there is a possibility of you getting accepted because you are a strong applicant. Get your app there and hope for the best!

For the record, princeton doesn't accept transfer students.
