Chance me as a transfer student for CSE??

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Minnesota

<p>I'm currently a college freshman who wants to major in computer science.</p>

<p>My total GPA for this first semester for all my classes could be anywhere from 3.48 to 3.70 (still waiting for one grade back), but I know they are looking at "technical GPA" so just math, programming, science courses relevant to your major.</p>

<p>My technical GPA is 3.167 (so just a little bit short of their reccomended 3.2), but that's because it's only based on two courses just this semester: Calculus 2 and Structures of Programming 1, since I got a B+ in Calc 2 and <em>cringe</em> B in programming.
The other courses required to transfer are in progress, but I was told I can still apply.</p>

<p>Is this ok, even though they "most successful applicants will have at least a 3.2 gpa"
The stats also say of those who were accepted:
52% had a 3.5-4.0 gpa
36% had a 3.0-3.5 gpa (don't know how much of these are over 3.2)
11% had a 2.5-2.99 gpa
and 2% had lower than a 2.5</p>

<p>Will I likely be accepted as a transfer??</p>

<p>Sounds like you already know the answer</p>

<p>I really don’t know how competitive it is, that’s why I’m asking…</p>

<p>(The stats don’t say that much since they have the same kind of thing for ACT scores and some of those people in the lower percentiles didn’t get in…?)</p>

<p>Any other transfer students here?</p>

<p>The overall acceptance rate to CSE for transfer students is generally around 40/45% according to the transfer counselor. Last year’s average gpa was 3.3, up from 3.2 the previous year.</p>

<p>Well I found out my total GPA for this semester is 3.63. But my technical GPA is still 3.167 from those two classes, the other two classes I got both A’s.</p>

<p>So I don’t know if they take the average GPA from the toal GPA or just from the relevant classes/technical GPA.</p>

<p>Does anybody know when transfer students get their results?</p>
