<p>Hello! I'm a sophomore at VCU and looking at transferring to Appalachian State next fall (2012). Has anyone done this, or know anything about it? My high school grades were average, but I had a lot of extracurricular things like volunteering and I had a good SAT score. After my first year I have a 3.0 GPA (bad first semester - joined a sorority. I have since terminated). I still volunteer and I'm a member of Green Unity where we do community clean-ups and such. Can anyone give me any information about AppState? It looks perfect for me.</p>
<p>Any information helps, again. Thanks.</p>
<p>Can someone give me input? I now have a 3.3 GPA and an internship with Sierra Club. Chances?</p>
<p>I’m also transferring to ASU in the Fall! I applied last Fall with a 2.8 GPA and lots of volunteer work. I had 2 letters of recommendation and made sure that I answered the essay question to help increase my chances. I talked to admissions counselors though and they said that, as a transfer student, generally if you have a 2.0 gpa then you should be able to get in. I’d apply as soon as possible though because they accept on rolling basis so it’s like a “first come, first serve” thing.</p>
<p>Good luck!! (:</p>
<p>Oh, and also…the university just announced a new program for transfer students. It’s a learning community, which means that transfer students can actually get on campus housing! I don’t know if you’re interested in living on or off campus, but I do know it’s supposed to be a lot easier to meet people as a transfer student if you live in the dorms. It’s also apparently one of the nicest dorms on campus.</p>
<p>Thank you so much, that’s great to hear!! Any other tips for the essay?</p>
