<p>When should I expect to hear back? After reading this thread, I don’t think I’m going to make it. Most of you have an upper 3 GPA (both HS and college) and are stressing out… :/</p>

<p>edit: Some of you have “no financial aid” as a strength. Probably an obvious answer, but is that really a strength (from admissions office point of view)? </p>

<p>edit 2: All of you have community service hours, my current academic adviser said community service doesn’t really matter on transfer applications. Wow</p>

<p>edit 3: Yeah, definitely not going to get in. I was delusional. Better start applying other places. </p>

37

<p>Well what is your overall cumulative GPA?</p>

38

<p>2.8</p>

<p>I went to one of the “potential transfer student information” sessions and met with a UW adviser. She said that getting accepted was definitely possible, but of course she was supposed to say that. </p>

39

<p>@Jimmyboy123 how many college credits do you have?</p>

<p>Looking at everyone’s college gpa’s are making me a little nervous… mine is lower than most I feel like.</p>

<p>I’m hoping to transfer as a freshman (going to be sophomore) from UW Oshkosh.</p>

<p>High school GPA: 3.45
ACT: 24</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.24 (I know that I can raise it with my second semester grades)
Credits: Took 13 last semester and 15 this semester (6 from AP)</p>

<p>All my application materials are in and I am waiting… everything says it is received and that the application is being reviewed by an admissions counselor. I didn’t apply until around January 14th. </p>

<p>I have heard from people that being above a 3.0 in a UW school gives you a very good chance… But I know I am below the 3.4 average for transfers which makes me a little nervous.</p>
