I only had a 3.5 GPA with 3 Cs and several Bs during high school (12 APs takes a toll), but I have a 4.0 first semester at my college as a freshman. Do you think it’ll be worth applying to some Ivies for sophomore transfer? Has anyone been accepted with this low of a high school GPA? I have great extracurriculars, teacher recs, and a 1580 SAT score.
I think your chances would be better if you applied as a second semester sophomore/junior because your high school GPA was low. Since you’re only a semester into college they’ll still be placing a lot of weight on your HS GPA
