Any shot as a transfer?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>I am attending USC as a first semester freshman. </p>

<p>I came into this uni with 28 community college credits, all 4.0
First semester I'm going to guess I have something like a 3.2
This gives me a cumulative "college" gpa of 3.79
I am white.</p>

<p>High school grades:
4.0 UW gpa
2180 SAT
Great extracurriculars</p>

<p>Involvement at USC after one semester:
Phi Alpha Delta pre-law fraternity
Orientation Advisor
Job at Music School</p>

<p>My biggest concern is withdrawing from a class this first semester.
I was initially enrolled in 16 units but withdrew from a math class which put me down to 12.</p>

<p>How will this affect my chances?
Do I have a shot at Northwestern based on the big boost my college gpa gets from my community college courses?</p>

<p>Your performance at USC will be more important than how you fared in CC. You need to get your USC GPA up by a lot, and if you have good ACT/SAT scores, you can have a shot. You’ll be competing with many people that have great SAT/ACT/GPA’s though, so do something to stand out. In your essay, try to explain why you had a bad first semester.</p>
