<p>Your stats and ECs are in range for an in-state applicant. Yes you have a chance.</p>

<p>I got in for spring transfer this year with a 3.4 gpa and limited exctracarriculars but a great personal statement so you surely have a chance. What semester are you applying for?</p>

<p>I’m applying for the fall semester</p>

<p>I think you have a chance. It worked out for me and Spring transfer is very competitive as their website says they only admit around 60 transfers in the spring (but it seemed there was more than 60 at orientation last month, but not by much). That being said, your gpa is the same as mine was so you have a good chance especially since they admit way more students in the fall (though more people apply, as I’m sure you know).</p>
