Chances of transfer to top 50 schools?

Transfer Students
1

Hi
I’m a freshman at not a well known/prestigious state college… accounting major in business school.
I’m taking like 4 gen ed classes right now but
I wonder if I have chance of transferring at 3rd year?
I want some idea thanks

2

GPA ?

Plan to switch majors ?

In need of financial aid ?

You have stated in the past that you had a very low high school GPA. How will you turn that around in the next 3 semesters? To transfer into a top 30-50 ranked university a GPA of 3.3 would be a minimum, preferably a 3.6.

Also, I’m trying to avoid schools that require high school grades…

5

Domestic student, no aids, want same major or same school… public school preferred for below 50…

I think that you need to work very hard at university and try to get mostly A’s. If you can pull that off then transferring should be possible.

7

I guess I have to aim for that but I am not sure it will happen. I might get one or two B’s but

That’s fine. If you can get above a 3.5GPA for your first semester you’re academically suited to transferring to most schools. Get involved within your current campus and I would even suggest taking the SAT/ACT with preferably a score of 30~/36 for the ACT or 1400~/1600 on the SAT to mitigate your low high school GPA. Colleges don’t look at test scores as much as they do for freshmen, but it still has some bearing and at this point anything that can show you’re academically strong and not as you were in high school is a boon.

I don’t think they ask about that on the application, but good for you!

Idk I don’t want to show them my high school stuff …

What state do you live in?
I think your more realistic aim should be to transfer to your state Flagship.
Are you a freshman? so far what classes are you taking and what grades have you had?

Um it is not one of those states with good colleges

What’s your budget? Your EFC? (Transfers get lousy aid)
It’s hard to answer your question if we don’t know your state and your grades. Help us help you.

It is Iowa but yeah but it is not worth transferring there. My parents are upper middle class(if it helps you have better understanding) so yes I don’t really have to go to in state just for cheap deal.
My high school grades
Freshman: 2.9/4.0
Sophomore: 3.2
Junior: 2.8
Senior 3.0
