You should really email these Universities and ask them. In fact, you said you were taking History? Email the History department of admissions and ask them. Don't worry about being a transfer student-- I am one as well, and was able to skip the first year and go right into second year!Good luck!

I agree with the first poster. But also check out:http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com/search/CollegeDetail.jsp?collegeId=2395&profileId=1For Rochester only a third of applicants got admitted. So assuming a reasonable spread of applicants that would mean about a 3.3 GPA or better at least - probably over 3.6 to be reasonably safe. You can check out the other schools.Schools do not like to see you 'pad' out stuff. What they like to see is stuff that shows leadership potential like rising to a position of treasurer, secretary or president in some organisation.ThanksBill

For the University of Rochester, they have an open curriculum (you don't have much requirements). THese are what they look for in transfer students:is intelligent and independent seeks academic advancement and challengedesires to improve the ability to think and communicate clearly wishes to master knowledge in broad areas as well as specific fields University of Syracuse:Transfer StudentsStudents frequently transfer into the School of Education from both inside and outside of the University. If you are considering transferring into one of our undergraduate programs, there are some important policies and procedures that you should be aware of to make the transition as smooth as possible for you. Transferring to the School Of Education from Other Syracuse University ProgramsIf you are currently a Syracuse University student interested in an intra-university transfer to the School of Education you must meet the following cumulative grade point average (GPA) requirements for your desired program of study: Inclusive Elementary and Special Education Programs and all Secondary Education Programs: 2.80 GPA Health and Exercise Science and Physical Education: 2.80 GPA Art Education: 2.80 GPA Music Education: 3.00 GPA You must submit an intra-university transfer application, available from the Office of Academic and Student Services in the School of Education, 270 Huntington Hall; in addition, a personal interview may be required. If you meet the cumulative GPA requirement, you are admitted on a space-available basis as determined by each particular education program. If your cumulative GPA does not meet the requirements, we can counsel you as to your best options. The applicability of prior earned credit (both SU and transfer credit) will be evaluated for you. Intra-University transfer applications are held until the end of the semester when GPA's and student interest in entering the program are assessed.If you are considering transfer into one of our single programs in education, you may find the following course suggestions helpful. These courses may be taken by non-education students with advisement while you make the decision to transfer or while the intra-University transfer application is being processed.Inclusive Elementary and Special Education teacher Preparation Program EDU 203 Study of Elementary and Special Education Training (freshman year) SPE 204 Inclusive Education and the Law (sophomore year) SPE 311 Perspectives on Disabilities Health and Exercise Science PPE 295 Introduction to Exercise Science HEA 332 Personal Health and Safety Physical Education PPE 377 Introduction to Physical Education Transferring to Syracuse University and the School of Education from Other InstitutionsYou're not alone in your decision to transfer to Syracuse University. About fifteen percent of undergraduates entering the university each year are transfer students. Syracuse transfer students are academically strong and they enter at different levels and in all of the University's academic programs. External transfers must meet the following cumulative grade point average (GPA) requirements for your desired program of study:Inclusive Elementary and Special Education Programs and all Secondary Education Programs: 2.80 GPA Health and Exercise Science and Physical Education: 2.80 GPA Art Education: 2.80 GPA Music Education: 3.00 GPA Generally, some liberal arts and education courses will transfer, depending on your major. If you plan to transfer from another college or university into Syracuse University's School of Education, we strongly recommend that you speak with our Undergraduate Admissions Recruiter as early as possible to evaluate your record and to plan your course of study. The Undergraduate Admissions Recruiter in the School of Education can be reached at (315) 443-4269 or e-mail to lldeyo@syr.edu.University of Buffalo:Admission RequirementsDo you have what it takes? - Transfer Admission RequirementsIf you've completed at least 12 credit hours of college-level work after graduating from high school, you're considered a transfer applicant.There are two kinds of transfer admission to UB:Admission to the university and to a major program based on the amount of college credit you have and your GPA. General admission to the university if you don't yet have sufficient credits and courses to qualify for a specific major. Which credentials are considered?If you've completed more than 24 college credit hours at the time you apply, your previous college academic record is reviewed. If you've completed fewer than 24 credit hours at the time you apply, your high school transcript, SAT and/or ACT test scores, and previous college academic record are reviewed. In order to receive consideration for transfer admission to the University at Buffalo, it is recommended that students present a strong record of college study, earning a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale. It should be noted, however, that requirements may vary depending on academic program. Some departments have supplemental admission criteria, higher GPA requirements, departmental application deadlines, and limited capacity. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------They are all good schools.
