***HELP!!!!Transfer dilemma :/ ***

Transfer Students

<p>I have a burning interest in transferring to Northeastern Univeristy. I am currently in my last semester at a small CC in upstate NY. I did horrible my first couple of semester and around this time last year, had a 1.2 GPA (I know pretty pathetic). I worked my behind off and managed to pull my GPA up to a 2.7 within a year. I know its still not great but considering where i was just a year ago, its an hell of a improvement. I am also retaking a class this semester that i had previously gotten a D, in which i know is bringing my GPA down. In a nutshell, i wanted to know if i apply for next springs semester, are they only looking at my current 2.7 GPA? or if i bring my GPA up to atleast a 3.0 in my last semester will it even matter since i want to transfer in the spring and I wont know my final GPA until the end of the semester. (I hope this makes sense) I plan on getting all A's or B+ in my classes this semester.</p>

<p>Also during the application process will it help to send out my midterm grades? I know for their school it isnt necessary but in my situation i think it may help me.</p>

<p>Both GPA’s matter, but the GPA you have at the time of application is the one that can determine your ability to get in. If you get accepted as a transfer, you’ll have to keep your GPA above a certain level after finishing at the CC.</p>

<p>You can apply anyway, but you may have trouble getting in, according to their page. The “most successful” GPA for transfer is 3.3:

<p>Try, and if you don’t get in, take another semester to get that GPA up. It will give you more time to complete necessary prereq’s as well.</p>

<p>do you think sending my mid term grades would better my chances?</p>

<p>Sorry no. Just keep chipping away at classes you need and do the best you can and you should be fine.</p>
