Bad GPA, what are my chances of transfer to Champaign?

<p>I want to transfer to U of I urbana champaign... but the thing is</p>

<p>Im a sophomore at a community college right now, and I have a 3.1 GPA currently, and if i get a 4.0 this semester i will be bumped up to a 3.4. I want to attend U of I urbana champaign starting my junior year, what are my chances?</p>

<p>I also failed a class my first semester, and was put on academic probation. But the very next semester i got a 3.5 and retook the failed class and got a B.</p>

<p>I didnt do so well in high school.... 21 ACT and 2.2 GPA</p>

<p>I plan to major in cellular and molecular biology.</p>

<p>BUT.... i did VERY bad in high school..... 21 act and a 2.2 GPA, i just didnt have my priorities straight... but im trying to catch up academically. I live in Illinois also.</p>

<p>Not very likely. They require the HS and College transcripts of all transfer applicants.</p>

<p>I have heard that for incoming junior transfers, highschool is not considered that much any more. Am i wrong?</p>

Click on the Common Data Set link at the bottom of the page. Look in Section D5. HS Transcript required of ALL students.</p>

<p>Does this eliminate my chances then? I understand that all transfers must give high school transcripts, but are they regarded as heavily as my college transcript? Do you think i would still have a fair shot?</p>

<p>HS transcripts do not count as much if you’re transferring in as a junior. They will look at it but will not weight it as heavily as your college grades.
As for your GPA, you might have a decent shot. Depending on what courses you took related to your major, although there will be a number of applicants with higher GPA’s, like 3.5 and higher.</p>
