“Well, I transferred in with "the biggest transfer poolOct 02 2008Computer Science
Well, I transferred in with "the biggest transfer pool yet" (which seems to happen each year), but with a decent SAT/ACT (not talking 1400s+), proof that you took the difficult classes in high school (AP/IB), and a few nice-looking extracurricular things going on (volunteering, work experience), it shouldn't be a problem.

However, this past acceptance class brought in way too many freshmen... there are still ~200 forced triples on campus. Don't know if this will affect future applications!

I had a crappy SAT score and only a 89 average out of high school, getting into the engineering school is easy. Get in that way and then do well your first semester and transfer into whatever school you'd like.
