Chance of acceptance?

<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I recently applied for MSU, and I was wondering what the chances are that I will actually get accepted. I met all of the transfer criteria prereqs and such, I'm just worried that my GPA is too low at the moment.</p>

<p>I currently go to a community college in my area, I have 52 credits, and a 3.271 cumulative GPA. I'm going into a limited enrollment major (Hospitality business, which requires a 2.5 minimum). I got a 24 on my ACT. I was under the assumption that I didn't even need to send my ACT information, considering I have so many college credits, but for some reason the Application Status Check system says that my ACT scores have been received... (from 2006, too?)</p>

<p>Anyway, thoughts? I really don't know how competitive MSU is for in-state transfer students, and I'm hoping maybe some of you would know more.</p>

<p>From what I've read it seems like anything in the 3.0-3.4 range is a 50% gamble. Ah well. I guess I won't know until the letter comes.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You’re correct, 3.0-3.5 is a toss-up with not a ton of rhyme or reason to acceptance sometimes. If I’m not mistaken, ACT and high school GPA don’t need to be sent after 30 credits or so. </p>

<p>The fact is, no one really knows how hard it is to transfer in as there are no statistics available. As for the hospitality business major, I honestly have no idea how hard it is to transfer into. </p>

<p>Overall, I think you’ll probably be fine for getting into MSU (so a match) but have no idea about HB. </p>

<p>Best of luck to ya!!</p>
