<p>I had a 2.0 in high school for some certain reasons, which I have a good explanation for. At community college I have approximately a 3.7 in 70 semester hours where I have taken Calc I and II, Physics w/lab, Chemistry w/lab, Elementary German I and II, Intermediate German I and II, and nearly all of the general education requirements…I attend the University of Miami where I pulled a 3.3 with 15 semester hours for the one semester I was there. However, I had to leave due to something personal and the dean as well as the president said they are going to be writing me outstanding letters of recommendations to whatever school I wish to attend. I also have superior extracurricular activities, leadership positions held, president of clubs, and other significant letters of recommendations from professors and such. Do you think they will be willing to overlook my poor high school performance, and do you think I have a good shot for admission assuming I have good essays, etc? I have never had less than a “B” in college.</p>
<p>It's not whether or not they are willing to overlook less that superior qualifications (you're to be congratulated for your improvement for sure). It's just that there are only 30 slots open each year and anywhere between 700-800 applicants -- the vast majority have ULTRA superior performance in HS, and college. Your GPA near a 3.3 puts you at likely an unreachable strata as far as the transfer to Yale applicants go. Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>i had the same thought, but just wanted to get some others input. thanks for the reply.</p>
