<p>I have 60 credits with a 2.8 GPA (D in biology classes got me) applying to Texas A&M University, their freshman acceptance rate is like 75%, dont know about transfers..</p>
<p>The school isn't necessarily prestigious, but it does get a lot of applicants.</p>
<p>I'm applying to the school of liberal arts (economics) as a transfer, I have mainly taken basics + business oriented classes. My grades are actually fairly decent, with the exception of a D in Biology 2 and algebra (teacher didnt peak english, was very unorganized :/), mostly A's and B's, but it's still a 2.8 GPA. I think my essay was pretty strong.</p>
<p>I dont know anything of how universities treat transfers, is it harder to get accepted than a freshmen applicant?</p>
<p>edit: If anyone can give me their experiences with similarly size/rated/etc.. universities that would be great.</p>
<p>Well don’t let your own GPA make you feel down on yourself about getting in Texas A&M. According to CollegeBoard’s transfer admission stats, “3896” applied and “2295” were accepted. As for the specifics about who were accepted by major as transfers, you would have to browse around the Texas A&M website to find the admissions stats for transfers.</p>
<p>I don’t really know too much about the Texas college system but I do know that they tend to prefer residents of the state over other applicants like many public universities. So if your from Texas, then that’s a plus already.</p>
<p>As for my experiences about universities, I’m a community college student at California, 1st choice Business Admisitration and 2nd choice Economics, and current Freshmen.</p>
<p>Good luck on getting in</p>
<p>Its good that you tried, but I would definitely have a back up school if you really want to transfer out of the one your in.</p>
<p>Transfer acceptance is about 58%. Freshman rates are deceptively high because they include guaranteed admissions (based on top 10% and all).</p>
<p>anyone got into a comparable school with a similar GPA?</p>
