I am applying as a transfer into the biology program at Boulder. I got a 2040 on the SAT, with a 760 in math. I am currently at a Virginia state school, sitting with a 3.1-3.2 in biology without an upwards trend, however a lot of my classes are liberal arts so I don’t think they will all transfer. In the classes that I think will transfer I did pretty well in. For instance I got A-'s in my intro science classes, and B’s in Orgo and Biochem. Will these grades in my core requisites make my application looks better, or at least make up for the fact that my overall GPA is kind of poor?
Any and all feedback is appreciated. I’m kind of freaking out because I I’ve been looking at admissions stats and only 67% of transfer applicants receive letters of acceptance. Thank you so much!
I’d say you have a 50/50 chance. The school is going to be more selective with incoming freshman and this will impact the transfer admissions rate,too.
