<p>Hi there~</p>

<p>I am currently a second semester Freshman at Northeastern University. I have already submitted my transfer application, but I am curious as to what my chances are of getting accepted.</p>

<p>My current GPA is 3.7 and although I am currently Undeclared, I have taken mostly business/economics courses as I plan on majoring in one of those two. I was also placed onto Dean's List.</p>

<p>I have only taken one college english composition course and was told by the a guy from the USC undergrad transfer office that they would still consider my application because I am only a Freshman. I took Precalculus for Business & Econ Majors last semester and I am currently taking Calculus for Business & Econ Majors. The undergrad office also said this was ok.</p>

<p>I had 17 credits last semester and 16 this semester. </p>

<p>In high school, I did not do that well and got a 3.5 GPA but I had great extracurricular activities like rowing for three years at a National Rowing Association for up to 30 hours per week, volunteering all throughout high school, playing piano everyday for an hour, and being a part of many clubs. </p>

<p>So, based off of all of this, what do you guys think my chances are?</p>

<p>Based on what people said to me (similar situation to yours) based on GPA alone, you have a good chance.</p>

<p>Of course, you would have to elaborate on your college EC’s, have impressive essays, and continue showing an upward trend in college.</p>

<p>Did you check your essay for grammar and usage errors? </p>

<p>Would you mind sharing why you are transferring from NEU? I am actually thinking of transferring there</p>

<p>@scahopeful‌ @"Georgia Girl"‌ @transfer333‌ Update: I just got accepted today as an Undecided major (Dornsife). My GPA from Northeastern was 3.8 and I was part of many school clubs. My reason to apply as a transfer is the more options, the better. Northeastern is a great school especially the Business School (which I got accepted into), but I was curious as to see if I could get into USC as well.</p>
