ESL grades hurt my transfer chance?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Well, I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I have got 2 Cs & 2 Bs in my first semester. Now my overall GPA -except esl- is about 3.6 and it's all right with me, however I'm afraid ESL grades hurt transfer chance.</p>

<p>And besides, all the grades including ESL have printed when I have tried to check my transcript on college website... I'm really apprehensive about this.</p>

<p>If someone has any opinion, please tell me.
thanks...</p>

<p>ESL = English as a Second Language.</p>

<p>Well, if you are directly from other country, taking ESL would not hurt you (I think). However, they might look at your other classes' grades more in your case.</p>

<p>I don't think they would factor that into your transfer GPA. ESL classes last time I checked weren't transferable at most colleges. It's like taking pre requisities for transferable units, those don't count.</p>

<p>Don't worry.ESL is not a part of college courses..</p>

<p>Yeah, I mean to be blunt, they are looking for students who are the creamiest of the crop, so if english is a barrier fro you, it could work against you!!!!. Unless you have a perfect scoreon your TOFIEL!!!!!!</p>

<p>I don't they would factor into your gpa but it will show on your transcript but 4 years uni won't factor it since its not college level classes.</p>
