Chances of Being Accepted for Transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>I'll be starting there in my junior year if I get accepted.</p>

<p>so to the college of business:</p>

<p>From High School:
2.6 senior year, 3.1 overall</p>

<p>From James Madison University:
GPA:
Freshman year:
1st semester: 3.0
2nd semester: 4.0
Sophomore year:
1st semester: 4.0
2nd semester: 4.0</p>

<p>SATs:
SAT I: 2280 (800m 780w 700v)
SAT IIS: all over 700</p>

<p>The thing about my high school grades and my 1st semester freshman grades is that I had no idea what I wanted out of life then. I had an epiphany about 2nd semester that I wanted to be an investment analyst for bulge bracket iBank. Since then, I've been driven to do as well as I can, hence the 4.0s. </p>

<p>Being at JMU, I won't be able to make it to a bulge bracket no matter how well I do since the contacts and recruiters just aren't here. I could do that at UVA.</p>

<p>I also retook my SAT and SAT IIs after studying for them to get my scores higher for the transfer app. </p>

<p>What do you think my chances are?</p>

<p>call me crazy but I think youre in.</p>

<p>you have a 1500 SAT and a 3.8-ish GPA.</p>

<p>let us know the good news when it comes in!</p>

3

<p>if you're in-state, have good ECs (and i mean good, not great or super...just, "do you do anything else but study" type ECs =P), and good essays, you should be fine</p>

<p>what school are you applying to? McIntire? or do you still have to apply to the College (A&S)?</p>

<p>I think I read somewhere on this board that it is pretty hard to get a spot at the comm school as a transfer. I could be totally wrong though...</p>

5

<p>For the College, your chances are very good. For the Comm School, I think you've got a shot, but it's more of a high match / low reach.</p>
