It is very complicated to transfer hereOct 31 2013Electrical Engineering
It is very complicated to transfer here. There are lots of hoops to jump through and a tight schedule to follow. I had to sit through TWO interviews because the first time I was waiting on my grades to come through for my last semester at CC. They take your FULL academic history. If you went to two universities before transferring to Drexel it all gets averaged together.

Good luck.

I have a 2Apr 05 2011Undecided
I have a 2.6 GPA at a competitive prep school all regular classes but a 1800/2400 on my SAT's. Lots of volunteer work, my sister went there, great essay, showed interest by interviews and calling, I'm captain of 2 sports at my high school, and I've worked at my dad's medical practice doing insurance billing for the past 2 years for a few hours a day after school.

Also, if you feel like your borderline, apply to the school like the day before the deadline. I feel like early on if your borderline that they judge too quickly, but once they realize how many students aren't going to attend Drexel that were accepted, they loosen up a bit.

Good luck and come here. don't be socially awkward and you'll be fine.
