<p>@ tennisball02 they're about the same as regular admissions</p>
<p>Stephenn, I can see that, but can you not read where it says w/ his HS GPA of 2.2 and he got into Brown is amazing. Reagrdless of what his college gpa was, thats crazy</p>
<p>I was denied admission to quite a few places from high school, but after a 4.0 in college, transferred into Cornell.</p>
<p>I actually encourage going to an easy college your first year. Saves making HS too stressful (HS is time to have fun - college is stressful enough, where grades actually matter)...and allows you to get your gen.ed credits with easy A's and low cost.</p>
<p>could you guys post what kind of college (community college, 2 tier university, etc) you transferred from? </p>
<p>thanks guys! you guys are an inspiration to me</p>
<p>why? what college did you transfer from Dark?</p>
<p>Thanks, but in all honesty, I think it might have helped that I had some unusual recommendations, though.
I had one from the Deputy Director of the Army Review Board, one from someone in congress, a couple of other military officials, one from my boss, along with the required professors'. I sent in at least six recommendations, I think.</p>
<p>Not personally, good friend.
Denied from Georgetown, attended Bucknell, hated it, did nothing but work out and study. Can now bench 400 and got a 4.0 (I thought that was nifty). Transferred to Georgetown this year. Loves it.</p>
<p>Jesus %&@$# Christ, 400 on the bench? You should just show up and look the Georgetown dean of admissions right in the eyes. He'll take you, he cares for his life too much.</p>
<p>Tarhill, a community college.</p>
<p>But I assume you're a fan of UNC? (I'm from the area) love Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>You know it brotha :)</p>
<p>Where are you now Plattsburgh?</p>
<p>I was denied to Virginia Tech when applying my senior year of high school (3.2 GPA in HS). I got a 3.267 my first semester at Case Western Reserve Univ and I'm applying transfer to VT, UVA, George Mason, and Clemson. Wish me luck!</p>
<p>^You wont get into UVA and doubfully Clemosn. VT is possible and George Mason is likey</p>
<p>Ouch. Maybe you could soften that, TarHeelBound. May not get into those schools but 3.267 is not completely unrealistic either. skx46 needs to go for it and give it a try...and let us know how it goes! good luck!</p>
<p>Well, sorry to come off as snoody, but UVA is a huge longshot. The others are possible. be sure to write good essays brotha :) Hope ya find the right fit for YOU</p>
<p>UNC and UVA are really similar...and I didn't get into UNC in-state with a 4.0 for transfer. Soo...yeah.</p>
<p>I went to UVA and I wasn't God's academically gifted....</p>
<p>Does anyone know how important SAT scores are for a transfer applicant?</p>
<p>Did those of you who got into your dream schools after a year of college have exceptional SAT scores?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I was rejected by Colgate for freshmen admissions. (should've applied ED...) I cried and called the adcom and asked what was the matter despite my dad (alum) having called to find out what happened and if they could at least wait-list me (he THOUGHT I was going to get in as a legacy). The adcom said, "Nothing wrong with your application... just too many Bs. If you can bring your GPA up, you can always apply for a transfer."</p>
<p>I went to Smith... didn't feel at home and just didn't like it but worked my ass off so I could get out of there. I wound up applying to Colgate, and ONLY Colgate. Got in. BEST feeling over. I'll never forget that day that I got my acceptance letter. Never looked back since.</p>
<p>My GPA was a factor as well my reasons for going to Colgate. I also grew up a bit and showed them my true side (I cared more about horseback riding than some academic quiz bowl). </p>
<p>SATs don't really matter after freshmen admissions if you're applying for sophomore transfer (not second-semester freshmen). GPA does matter.</p>
<p>Great story, tickleme. Hope we get more people like that!</p>
