<p>Id say your chances are pretty good. The college GPA is a tad low. They put more emphasis on HS only if you are a sophomore transfer. Just try and get that gpa up, but Id say you're in anyways.</p>
<p>I wouldn't go so far as to say that you're "in" but you have a pretty good shot.</p>
<p>I'm also looking to transfer to Carolina. I'm a freshman at the University of Colorado, but I am from NC. I have a 3.65 college GPA so far. (I took astronomy last semester, haha. Bad call.) I do not plan on it falling. At the very least, it may go up like a hundreth of a point, but I'm trying as hard as I can do as good as possible this semester. My high school GPA was ~3.6 unweighted & 4.1 weighted. My SAT was 1270 the old way & 1910 the new way.
W-640
R-730
M-540</p>
<p>And I'd say my essay was pretty good. I'm just looking for some encouragement, haha. I applied last year and I was waitlisted. Sooo I'm just wondering what you guys think my chances are!</p>
<p>you guys are worrying way too much about SAT's, they aren't weighed that heavily for transfers.</p>
<p>yeah guys, general consensus is that SATs are marginal. if you didnt do well, i wouldnt stress it. the time that you would spend on SAT prep could more effectively be spent on your classes.</p>
<p>would anyone mind giving me a chance quickly for soph transfer?

<p>The fact is that for sophomore transfers, SAT's do carry a lot of weight for UNC. (I know this is true first hand). Not as much for junior transfers as they'll mainly look at college gpa, but as a sophomore, they will definately evaluate HS gpa, extracurriculars, and SAT scores.
Both of you need to raise your SAT's. I would re-take them if you're looking to get into UNC-Chapel Hill.</p>
<p>I actually called UNC today, and they said that Junior transfers didn't have to submit SAT scores at all. I don't know how much it will help, but I will still send mine in anyway. </p>
<p>BTW, Do extracurricular activites in HS matter much for Junior transfers?</p>
<p>I found a facebook group we can join and get to know each other.</p>

<p>Hey guys what do you think. I go to Davidson College have a 3.2 here (its a very hard school). Played soccer 4 years in high school, played Division 1 soccer here at Davidson had a 4.8 in a fairly competitive high school top 5% in class with a few extracurriculars. SAT math-690 reading-720 writing- i think like 600</p>
<p>Im afraid my low college GPA will hurt me....any thoughts?</p>
<p>What if you're in-state and got in as a freshman, went to another college and didn't particularly like it but got decently good grades and were involved in a few different activities and applied to transfer for sophomore year? Do they put lots of emphasis on high school grades?</p>
<p>I had a 4.4 in high school and a 3.5 at NC State last year and get waitlisted...so its possible for you but a stretch</p>
<p>is anyone else wishing it was april already?
i'd just like to know o_O</p>
<p>me too. I'm dying here waiting for. But i got into one of my four colleges choice.</p>

<p>Did anyone do the optional essay for transfer students? I mean they can't hold it against you if you don't do it, right?</p>
<p>i didn't do it...from what I heard its not a big deal..</p>
<p>Thanks! I don't think I will do it either. I was gonna put a cheesy quote in the essay too...lol</p>
<p>i called and they said the average junior transfer gpa was a 3.1 as of last fall. Does anyone know the percentage rate of transfer students? I heard they were not as tough as they are with applicants out of high school.</p>
