do you think it's worth applying transfer with a 3.5 GPA?

<p>I do not have my grades in yet but I am wondering if its worth applying transfer with such a GPA. I do realize that there are people who have 4.0s but I am assuming there are differences in schools. my school is pretty competitive (in top 20) and even "introductory" level classes are not so introductory....</p>

<p>What school?</p>

<p>to the School of Foreign Service, from Emory.</p>

<p>possibly. Emory is great school and a challenging one, at that. Gtown should recognize that a 3.5 at Emory is still somewhat impressive, regardless; however, I still think your acceptance is uncertain. It’s still worth a shot though!</p>

<p>^well, nothing is really certain in admissions but sometimes you just have to give up I guess… I just was not sure whether I had a reason to. I do have 33 ACT and 1/360 rank in HS but that will probably make little to no difference.</p>

<p>My friend that attends SFS had a highschool gpa of 2.3 and a college GPA from Pace U of 3.5 and got in as a transfer, so don’t fret =)</p>

<p>^Oh, that is interesting. Did she/he have anything amazing that got her/him in? I did end up with a higher GPA than 3.5 and I do have a much higher HS GPA than your friend but I am still afraid. There must have been something…</p>
