I made a new thread where we can all talk about AU as transfer students! Anyone registered for Welcome Week yet?
Hi!
I’m applying for fall 2017 transfer admission and was wondering what you think my chances are of getting in
I haven’t sent in my application yet. I’m super nervous now because it seems like most of you last year sent it in by march 1st. I know it’s rolling admission, but do you think if I apply a little after april 1st, I will still be a strong candidate and receive financial aid and housing on campus (i already sent in css and fafsa before the deadlines)? I’m transferring as a current freshman from a private college. My major is political science with a concentration in IR…here are my stats
high school
sat 1640 (wont be sending in)
gpa 3.2 (2.85 during junior yr probably why I got rejected when I first applied to AU last year…but other than that it was above a 3.2 every other year
did a lot of internship/volunteer work and was a school activist
college
first semester gpa 3.78
have one incomplete in a course and im trying to complete it before applying
second semester
withdrew from a course due to depression/mental healht issues but gpa will probably be 3.5
interning with a state agency and volunteering with NGO
one solid reccomendation
college essay - id like to be in a more intellectually stimulating environment
