I’ve just wrapped up my first semester of sophomore year at NC State but things just don’t seem to be clicking. I haven’t taken much of a liking to the campus environment and fellow students here, so I’ve decided to apply for transfer to UNC in the fall of 2015. Could any of you predict my odds of acceptance?
-3.6 cumulative GPA in Biological Sciences BS at State (3.5 in sciences)
-Undergrad research in nanoparticle toxicity on NC State’s Centennial Campus
-Over 100 hours of volunteer time over the summer in the operating rooms of Carolinas Medical Center
-Member of various clubs (HOSA, pre-med, pre-health)
-Very active in campus ministries
I’ve heard high school specs don’t really matter this far down the road. However, I will share them if needed.

Your GPA looks like it’s in the right ballpark, though maybe try and pull it up a bit this semester. That said, your research and volunteer hours are a HUGE plus. Do you plan to continue Biology at UNC?
Good luck!
Mynaaa, I will definitely continue bio at UNC. Thank you!
