<p>I am currently a freshmen at suny esf. Id really like to transfer to SUNY buffalo because I dont want to pursue science anymore, and im really not liking the school. Im hoping to transfer in the spring semester. My high school gpa was a 90 and my sat score was an 1830. I am currently an environmental biology major. Although I obviously dont know my first semester college grades, chemistry is hard for me and I expect around a C+. My bio and writing classes are difficult as well and I would expect B's in those classes. I find my math class and elective easier and hope for A's in both those classes. Overall I would expect a 3.0 gpa for the first semester. Could anyone tell me my chances of being able to transfer to SUNY buffalo this spring?</p>

<p>Im writing this mainly to see if anyone knows anyway to help my chances, even if I already have a solid chance. Like if buffalo allows talent showcases or interviews. I figured this forum would be the place to find out</p>

<p>How many credits do you have? If you have more than [i think] 15 credits than your high school gpa&sat’s is irrelevant. </p>

<p>I transferred in for the Spring 2013 with success: I had a ~3.4 GPA (but i also had clubs&achievements to help)</p>

<p>Honestly, I think you would have trouble transferring in with a 3.0 GPA. I would recommend doing extra-curriculars that would make you stand out more…like joining clubs or somethin. </p>

<p>Here is some admissions stats from parchment on UBuffalo:

<p>good luck</p>

<p>I just got accepted with a 2.8 GPa.
Did you get accepted?</p>

<p>My daughter also transferred to UB from SUNY ESF after 2 years there and got in with a 2.5 (her gpa is now 3.7 so if ESF is a lot more difficult than people think)</p>

<p>With those grades, you should try stony brook</p>

<p>Hi, I’m looking to transfer into SUNY Buffalo from SUNY Albany. I plan on transferring for the fall of 2014, I’m a freshman undergrad. I currently have a 3.67 GPA for my first semester and I will have completed 30 credits by the end of the spring semester. I’m also the founder and president of a club, and I’m involved in other clubs as well. Can someone please let me know what my chances of acceptance are?</p>
