Hi, I’m a freshman at Appalachian University and just finished my first semester. After my 2nd semester is done I aim to transfer to NCSU into sophomore year. (Fall 2019) Here are my details.
I applied already in High School, but got deferred, then waitlisted. This was when I applied as an engineering major (not anymore)
Demographics: Hispanic, male student. First generation to be born here but not first to go to college.
GPA: 3.54 (After one semester, should go higher or stay the same after 2nd semester.)
Major: Currently undecided, but will choose a major soon, however my major will not be an engineering major so it won’t be that hard. My major I choose to apply will most likely be a business major, social science major, or English major
SAT: 1270
College ECS: In film and writing club, (so I write), play multiple instruments (Was in a band in High School, and also write songs)
Transferable Credits: All of my first 15 credits from my first semester will transfer, and all the upcoming ones will transfer as well.
High School GPA: I don’t exactly remember it but it was lower than my current college GPA, maybe 3.3-3.4?
I think that’s all I need to mention, ask me if there is anything else I should put. I am curious how good my chances are.
Some things I’ve heard that is worth noting.
- The average GPA for a transfer student is 3.54
- The highest of any minority accepted of transfer students are Hispanics surprisingly.
- For a majority of majors, the recommended GPA is 3.0, with engineering having much higher recommended GPA (I am not one though) so I think my GPA is competitive.
Hope this is good 
Ngl hoping my hispanic self helps alot in their decision, plus my good grades (3 A’s, 2 b’s
Good luck!
