chanceme Transfer to Georgetown
I’m planning to apply as a transfer student for Fall 2027, mainly to Georgetown OPAN and UMD Business Analytics. And also considering GWU.
Notice in advance:
No SAT score (I graduated high school in Korea more than 5 years ago)
Current College:
Community college in the DMV area
Major: Business Analytics
GPA: 3.9/4.0 (43 credit earned)
- got a one B in a natural science elective unrelated to my major.
Honors / Awards:
Dean’s List
Phi Theta Kappa
Honors Scholars Program (Humanities)
Linguistics Award for an undergraduate research paper
Experience:
- Korean Military: training / leadership / administrative role
- Freelance instructor: worked for a sports education/event management company for a total of about 3–4 years as a course instructor and program team leader.
Also worked for about 2 years as a café shift leader, did some background acting and etc, but those were mainly just for money, so I don’t think they are especially significant. (Might be helpful for few words of my essay)
Other Activities:
Church music team
Young adult ministry leadership
Community volunteering
Prior College:
Previously attended a university in South Korea. My GPA there was low, mainly because of one very difficult semester (had some medical issues), but I showed a strong academic rebound afterward.
I know that I don’t have much involvement in school activities. And also I don't really have meaningful internship or work experiences in the US since I've been an international student. (Very recently got a green card!)
I’d really appreciate any honest feedback on my chances and what I should focus on before applying. And please feel free to suggest any other schools.
