I have been a student in the engineering program at Quinsigammond Community College now for four semesters (this is my last full semester there), and I’m going to be transferring to a new school for the fall semester of 2018. My intended major is electrical engineering, and my number choice as to where I would like to go to school is RPI, and this is definitely where I want to go, but I’ve been worried about me possibly not getting accepted. I’ve already sent my application in through the Common App to them, and I’ve mailed them my unofficial college transcript, so I’m just waiting to hear back from them. I have a 3.45 GPA currently, and I’m expecting my GPA to be around this after the end of this semester, and I guess that you only need a 3.0 GPA to be considered for admission. Last spring, I took a programming class, and I took an “X” instead of a D+ because my professor graded your semester grad solely on your grad on the final (he gave us the wrong material to study and myself and ten students all took X’s which basically mean we didn’t fail but have to retake the class) and I’m worried it might hurt my chances of getting in, or maybe I would be able to simply take the class again where I’m at now or at RPI in the fall. I went to a vocational high school and studied electronics there for four years as my vocation, and I even was hired by my school to work as an IT assistant for about a year before I graduated. On the Common App I made sure to let them know about my background with electronics and even included my resume, because I had worked for a company called IPG in their Electro-Mechanical Assembly department as both an assembler and a technician. I feel like my background with electronics looks good, but I’m still worried that I might not be admitted into RPI. I was just wondering if anyone knows about the process of transferring, and if there is anything anyone knows about my chances of getting in. Anything helps, thank you!
You’re going to want to send your official transcript, not the unofficial one, through the school, not though you.
