<p>Im applying to transfer to purdue next fall.
What are my chances of acceptance if I had a 3.4 GPA in high school a 23 act, and a 3.0 GPA my first semester of college?</p>
<p>Also how important is the essay on a transfer application?
Do they look more at the essay or the other aspects of the app when considering accepting a transfer student?</p>
<p>What major? And I’d say essays are fairly important but academics probably hold more weight.</p>
<p>Essay very important. As is HS GPA and ACT because you’re only 1 year into college.</p>
<p>It will depend on major.</p>
<p>im applying to preprofessional health sciences, and liberal arts. </p>
<p>so I figure if I dont get into health science I will get into liberal arts and then just change my major later on</p>
<p>you got a fair chance. minimum transfer gpa for health sciences is 3.0 and liberal arts is 2.2 iirc</p>
<p>protip: try not to hit the 1k word limit for the limit. 700-750 words is more than enough. its not going to help you much as they have thousands of essays to read through. you’re better off just being clear and concise.</p>
<p>ok thank you for the tip, I will definitely shorten my essay as much as I can then</p>
