Hi, I’m currently a freshmen at a private university in New York City. I’m looking to transfer to Florida State University for either the summer or fall of 2019. My high school gpa was a 4.0 and I got a 1250 on the new SAT. However, something traumatic happened in my family during my first semester in college. It really stopped me from trying my best in college and I ended up getting a 2.1 gpa my first semester. I just sent in my application to FSU along with my high school gpa and sat score. I still have to send in my college transcript but I’m worried my gpa will prevent me from being accepted becaause it is very very low. Does anyone know if I would be able to wait until the second semester ends to send in my college transcript or if there is anyway I can try to explain why my gpa was so low? I really want to transfer to FSU it’s my dream school!
