<p>Hey you guys. I am currently taking a semester off and plan to apply as a transfer to the College of Liberal Arts for the Spring '10 semester. I completed 30 credits at Concordia College-Moorhead, 26 of which I know will transfer to the U of M. </p>
<p>College G.P.A.: 3.05</p>
<p>However, I attempted 34 credits; 4 credits that I know will not transfer and 4 failed credits. Only 25 credits will satisfy liberal education requirements at CLA though (1 credit won't satisfy anything, and the 4 credits I failed, had I passed, wouldn't have either, though they do transfer).</p>
<p>College G.P.A. (consisting only of those 25 credits working toward CLA liberal education requirements): 3.52</p>
<p>Will this be considered? Do you guys think I have a chance of getting in? Sorry it's not a link, and I would be a Spring transfer, but here is the Fall 2009 transfer student profile: [url=<a href="http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/admissioninfo/cla.html%5DTransfer">http://admissions.tc.umn.edu/admissioninfo/cla.html]Transfer</a> Admission Requirements - College of Liberal Arts<a href="scroll%20down%20when%20you%20get%20there">/url</a>.</p>
<p>Also, my other stats that might be considered:</p>
<p>ACT Composite: 26
Mathematics subscore: 31</p>
<p>I plan to entire a major program involving mathematics; do they consider this?</p>
<p>My weak points:</p>
<p>High School G.P.A.: 2.81 (some accelerated classes)
Class Rank: Bottom Half (650 students)
Little paid work experience </p>
<p>However, am I correct in saying these variables do not factor in as much, excluding work experience (because I am a college transfer)? Will my lack of work experience affect me?</p>
<p>I put forward a limited number of volunteer hours, nothing to be too proud about. "ECs" took up the majority of my time year-round in high school, particularly committing to one athletic (I earned letters during the season for playing and during the off-season for training). I was able to play at the collegiate level as a freshman because of this. Do they like to see commitment and success in one particular area, or is it "the more the better?" Should I point this commitment out on my application?</p>
<p>My mother, many of her seven siblings, and her father all attended the U of M. Additionally, my father took some classes at the U. Does this help me and should I point it out on my application? I am in-state, in case you are wondering.</p>
<p>So, I think I have covered everything. Do you guys think I have a shot? I plan on applying on September 1st. If I have forgotten anything, or you would like me to explain anything further, please let me know. Thanks.</p>
