I have been declined from my dream school - Notre Dame. I have been accepted to Clemson and Miami University (Ohio), both architecture programs. They're both good schools, but I know that iwhen I go to either, no matter how much I may end up liking it, I'll always feel like I settled for second best.
My credentials:
SAT - 1300 (630 Reading, 670 math, plus 600 writing)
ACT - 30 (Subscore bests- Reading 29, Writing 33, math 33, Science 34)
Please don't recommend retaking this. I took ACT 4x and got 30 ALL FOUR TIMES. Sadly, I don't think my score is going anywhere, even though my subscores fluctuated like 5 pts. each...
HS GPA: weighted 4.888, unweighted 3.98 (my school also has a 7-point scale, 93 is the lowest A possible)
Rank - last checked tied 11th of 321 (as of first semester).
I took/am taking nine AP courses ( about as many as possible at my school) and scored average (3&4) on all. I also am in a dual enrollment Psychology course which I currently have an A in. I didn't however take IB courses because of scheduling issues (if you knew my school, it is the norm).
I was also in Honor society as treasurer, captain of cross country and 2x captain of track and field, Beta club
I applied early restrictive action and was deferred. Just a few days ago, I was ultimately turned down much to my devastation.
I plan on taking all the required credit hours to transfer, and will only get one chance (going into sophomore year) to try to get accepted as a transfer student. I am the type of person who gets upset with getting a B, so likely will have a high GPA in college.
Would it be worth my time (I.e. having good chances) to apply to transfer next year?
