ITT Transfer OCI: Help
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 1:57 am
There have been a few random questions about this in the transfer forum, but nothing with substantial feedback. I'll start us off . . .
I'm transferring to UCLA/Texas/Vandy from a T30 school (22%) that doesn't have a bidding process and I'm having trouble figuring out where I should bid. I realize that OCI is not a guarantee, transfer are hard to judge, blablabla, but I need some general help.
What is the Vault range that a top 20% at a T30 should bid on? I'm looking at a lot of the employer requirements and they seem to have "preferred" gpa cut offs of 3.3 (UCLA's median).
Example:
Latham requires a 3.4 (which I am above by enough that it seems reasonable to bid for it) but it is ranked 17th, which seems so high it may be a waste of a bid.
I would really appreciate any help (or guesses, estimates, anecdotes, etc.) people could give me.
