<p>anyone wo could help me? i just want to know if i have a good realistic chance of getting accepted…:/</p>
<p>It’s difficult to say. I hosted a lot of high school admits when I was there, but no transfer students. I will give my (thoroughly unqualified) opinion, however. Your test scores should be included here, because I still think they matter for transfers. However, I believe you would have a difficult time finding acceptance even with solid scores. I have never heard of the school accepting a community college transfer, and to even have a shot with such a background I think you’d need around a 4.0. I’m also completely confident your credits would not transfer, so you’d be starting off as a freshman. I’m sorry, bit I just don’t see a great deal if likelihood here. Still, you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.</p>
<p>why don’t you just apply and then you will know :)</p>
<p>Anyway, I think that you expected another answer, so I was on their website. I am not sure if this will help you but I just copied it for you:</p>
<p>" What are my chances of being admitted?</p>
<p>This is a difficult question. The decision process is decentralized; that is, transfer admissions are determined by the college or school to which you apply. Each one regulates its own enrollment goals. In recent Fall semesters, the overall admission rate has been 30-35%.</p>
<p>Admissibility is primarily gauged by a student’s academic record. The Committee is looking for those students whose academic performance in high school and college is consistently strong. The College GPA of successful transfers is typically 3.7 or higher. Good high school grades with solid SAT or ACT test results and high grades in college are usually positive indicators of one’s chances of being admitted."</p>
<p>They also say:
“A competitive transfer applicant typically did well in high school, attends a four-year institution, and follows the course requirements detailed on our transfer website.”</p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
