<p>I'm currently a freshman who is looking at transferring for next fall. I was looking at either University of Illinois or Northwestern University. What is the gpa needed to get into these schools as a sophomore transfer? If it helps I'm currently at the University of Maryland and looking to apply into general LAS college at either of these schools.</p>
<p>A 4.0 isn't a guarantee, and a 3.0 isn't a death sentence. There are so many other factors... read the sticky at the top of the transfer thread...</p>
<p>3.0 is most likely a death sentence for northwestern</p>
<p>plan on getting a 3.7+ to be a competitive applicant to northwestern, but as wretch said gpa is only one factor (albeit a big one) in admissions</p>
<p>I found this site abou Illinois,do you think that it's accurate?
U</a> of I Admissions: Junior Transfer Grade Point Average (GPA) Guidelines</p>
<p>While it's important to get as high a college gpa as possible, as a soph transfer, your HS record and test scores will be given more weight than your one qt/sem of college.</p>
<p>Regarding the UI website, since the gpa's are listed by the college itself, based on their admission statistics, they're going to be more accurate than anything anyone here can provide.</p>
<p>ok, I got deferred at Illinois last year and then denied later on. I thought I had a pretty good chance of getting in. I'm probably going to end this semester with around a 3.2 GPA and the major I want to transfer in on the illinois site says I only need a 2.5...</p>
<p>UI urbana-champaign or UI chicago? UIC is a easier to get in to than Urbana-champaign.</p>
<p>The web link the OP gave is for UIUC.</p>
<p>At the three universities of Illinois, there is a strict hierarchy for transfer preference.
first priority goes to students already at that campus
2nd students at other UI campuses
3rd Illinois residents
4th OOS</p>
