Any shot at all?

<p>Currently a freshman at University of Arizona</p>

<p>Applying to UNC, Indiana(Kelley)</p>

<p>Arizona GPA w/ 17 units: 3.41
HS GPA(competitive prep school): 3.18
ACT-27</p>

<p>Numerous ECs(comm service, varsity sports captain, founder of club, etc)</p>

<p>Any shot at all?</p>

<p>I am trying to go by what I remember of my brother looking at IU/Kelley last year so apologies if something I say is a little off as he was more concerned about it from a freshman perspective. </p>

<p>I am pretty sure you can't directadmit transfer into Kelley. You have to be admitted as a transfer to IU itself and spend at least one semester there. There are prerequisite classes that must be completed that I'm sure are on their webpage somewhere. I think they are nitpicky about everything being B or higher as well. </p>

<p>Since you have only completed 1 semester of college, they will rely a lot on your high school records. The high school GPA is past the cutoff but maybe a little low if an out of stater so it's hard to say for sure. </p>

<p>So good chance to get into Indiana probably, but definitely not into Kelley. But someone else can smack me if I'm wrong.</p>

<p>yeah i got into IU last year out of HS last year no problem. so what would i have to do? just take a semester of classes at IU, get a decent gpa(over 3), then get into kelley?</p>

<p>bump. what about unc</p>

<p>Your chances at UNC are pretty low because it is extremely hard getting accepted out of state. You can apply, and if you get in great, if not.. don't be upset because the only accept around 5% out of state students. Why would you want to go to UNC, they are all rednecks ;)</p>

<p>UNC does not take in state or out of state in account with transfers. it doesnt matter whether you're instate</p>

<p>burgler09, I have to simply say this...you're an idiot.</p>

<p>For starters, UNC is in Chapel Hill, one of the most liberal towns in the United States. Chapel Hill is also part of the Raleigh-Durham metropolitan area, which was recently ranked the most high tech city in the United States, surpassing Silicon Valley in California. The Raleigh-Durham area is also home to RTP (Research Triangle Park) which is the largest research park in the United States, home to the R & D units of GlaxoSmithKline, IBM, Sony ect. The Raleigh suburb of Cary is ranked "America's Most Educated City" as it has the highest percent of Ph.D's in the country. Wake County (Raleigh-Cary) is ranked one of America's top 100 richest counties. The Whole Foods and Fresh Markets have thousands of customers, the Wal-Marts are old and no one goes. The mayor of Carborro (near Chapel Hill) is North Carolina's only openly gay mayor...and he was elected with them knowing that. We have huge science, art, and natural history museums, and 3 of America's top universities form a triangle around the area (Duke in Durham, NC State in Raleigh, UNC in Chapel Hill) hence the nickname for this area, "The Triangle."</p>

<p>We are also experiencing some of the fastest growth in America.</p>

<p>Now, your "redneck" comment has been more than disproven, so next time please refrain from commenting on a city if you know nothing about it, it really shows your ignorance.</p>

<p>Maxk88, you should get into IU no problem. As for UNC, of course it doesn't take residency into account (burgler was wrong again) for transfers. This doesn't mean it's easy to get into---many of their transfers are from Wake and Durham Tech, local community colleges that have agreements with UNC. You don't have the BEST shot in the world, but it's still possible you may be accepted, I would give your odds at around 40%.</p>

<p>Best of luck to you!</p>

<p>Soccer_guy472 i was wondering if I have a shot at UNC im at ECU currently and I have a 3.8 but my high school gpa is around a 3.4 unweighted and my sat's are 1150/1600 do you think I have a shot at transferring and man I really like what you said about the triangle, I live in raleigh and all you said it very true.</p>

<p>you jackin my thread bud...haha jk
you have a much better chance than me, thats for sure. i doubt they'll be familiar with my HS though since its in texas, but its one of the most prestigious in TX. got me beat in gpas, but i have you in SAT/ACT. you'll get in over me</p>

<p>I appreciate it. The acceptance rate is like 40 % so that is pretty high, what do you think a competitive gpa is for unc to transfer.</p>

<p>probably a 3.5 and above</p>

<p>how big of a deal are the SAT's at unc i mean my college gpa does not go with my sat so what do you think could all my other stuff outweigh my horrible sat scores</p>

<p>bump it up</p>

<p>Waw, exactly...I hate how people diss North Carolina for what it used to be...in the last 10 years it's gone from hicktown to high tech. I'm from Cary, myself.</p>

<p>waw, I think you have a better chance than maxk, but you still have a good shot. I placed maxk's at 40%...I'd place yours at 60%. UNC knows East Carolina is moving up in rankings, and they respect it (expecially the medical school)</p>

<p>hopefully both of us get in</p>

<p>Yeah, seriously, NC is probably the smartest state in the South. If you want rednecks you should visit Ole Miss.</p>

<p>How do you figure UNC doesn't take into account in-state or out of state, are you kidding me? College</a> Search - University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - UNC, - At a Glance There is 15% out of state in the entire school, trust me its taken into account.</p>

<p>If they have 15% then they'll certainly let a lot of out-of-state students in since their quota is 18%.</p>

<p>Their freshman class had 3807 students, meaning there were roughly 571 students who were out of state attending. Sounds low if you ask me. If you want to talk about not taking out of state into consideration, try checking out UMich, thats one of the few public schools that doesn't. They have a 60/40 instate to out of state. Oh but wait im suuucchh an idiot oh no.</p>

<p>Does my residency status affect my chances for admission?
No, for transfer students, residency status only affects the cost of tuition</p>
