3.5 for Yale?

<p>Impossible? </p>

<p>(actually a 3.57)</p>

<p>Yes. Quite.</p>

<p>(Save perhaps divine intervention or some enormous mitigating circumstance.)</p>

<p>Of course it's possible. Just show your other accomplishments. Pulitzer Prize?</p>

<p>As I'm sure you've seen,</p>

<p>"The admissions staff considers each application individually and tries to get as full a sense of the applicant as possible. There are no cut offs for GPAs or test scores, but it may be helpful to note that the average college GPA for admitted transfer students has been 3.8 and above. Keep in mind that admission to the transfer program is extremely competitive. Yale College receives between 700 and 800 transfer applications, and admits between 24 to 35 candidates per year, reflecting an admissions rate of only 3% to 5%."</p>

<p>No. People with less than a 3.8 do get admitted, but there had better be a good reason for a (fairly) low GPA and some great accomplishments to balance it out.</p>
