<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>anyone?????</p>
<p>I don't know much about how they do transfers at Wake. I would definately address in your essay how you turned things around, or whatever, in college. Visit the campus, maybe talk to an admissions staff in person. Good Luck!</p>
<p>thanks...does anyone know the average transfer gpa?</p>
<p>Transfer admissions is obviously less published, but I believe the acceptance rate is somewhere is around 36%. Average GPA is also hard to gauge because a lot of it has to do with where you are coming from and what classes you took. With a 3.3 from UMiami you should be about average. </p>
<p>Also, I don't think transfers even need to send their high school transcripts. So if they don't ask, don't send it. Obviously, what you've done more recently will weigh much more heavily on their decision than high school.</p>
<p>thanks southernwake...anyone else??</p>
