<p>hey everyone! I am currently attending a community college and am in my 3rd year I'm a accounting major and currently have a 2.5 g.p.a I am taking 17 units right now and have straight A's with one B in my calculus class. I have 38 units completed and am planning to take 12 or so more units in the spring. My consoler said that by the end of the semester and I still have straight A's my overall g.p.a will be a 2.8 and by the time my spring terms up and I have straight A's again I should have roughly around a 3.0 to 3.1 She told me that I should start applying to schools around October for CSU's and November for UC's do you think with my current g.p.a any university would accept me since accounting is such an impacted major? I really want to transfer out as soon as possible! </p>
<p>Well, that GPA is dang low. Are your courses challenging? List them, and shoot for a spring application so that you can show your upward trend. Applying this year may screw you for future applications.</p>
<p>yeah I know its pretty low I really slacked off my first year in school and wasn't really planning on going to college at all and was planning on working. To make a long story short I got my act together and now am really trying to transfer out! well the 38 units I completed were all from IGETC and the 17 units I'm currently taking are all my major prerequisites business law, business calculus, cis, accounting 101 and macro economics. So you think it would be better for me to apply during the spring of 09? if I apply spring can I make it in to a university by the fall?</p>
<p>Applying this year might lower your chances if you are rejected from a school, and want to reapply. The school might decide against you because they already rejected you once.
If you apply to different schools, I don't see why it would hurt you.</p>
<p>From my experience, schools don't discriminate against applicants who were previously rejected. If anything, I think it shows a great desire to attend that school and the apllicant working hard to get there.</p>
<p>A 2.5 really isn't low, only by CC standards. Technically it's a C, which is average. I don't know much about California admissions, but there are plenty of decent schools you can get into with a 2.8. Don't be scared. </p>
<p>And I don't really know, but I would tend to agree with LilyMoon. If I were an admissions officer and I saw the same name come up twice (provided that person wasn't just sitting around for a year waiting for the next admissions cycle) I'd be impressed with that student's tenacity.</p>
<p>I think this thread would be better handled in the UC Transfers sub-forum, so I am moving it there. If the OP is interested in non UC/CSU schools, please let me know, via PM, and I will copy the thread back here as well.</p>
<p>Are all your classes transferable? UC only look at grades for transferable classes, that might help raise your GPA. Also retake any transferable class you got a D or F in.</p>
<p>I never actually failed a class that's transferable I got C's and I dont think I can make those up thanks for your help guys I'm gonna give it a shot and apply anyway this year! Can I still apply for the upcoming fall semester if I apply during the spring?</p>
<p>You should apply anyway see what happens. You can't retake classes you got C's in, when your calculating gpa is that only with the transferable units right? Will you have 60 units, pre req and IGETC done by spring? Also if you applying for Fall 09 UC's will only when see your GPA you have by the end of this fall. The average GPA for each UC campus is higher than 3.0 University</a> of California: StatFinder and not all UC's offer accounting. Your shouldn't be scared you should be able for sure get into a CSU, normal CSU reputation in accounting is normally good in area the CSU is at. SDSU business program is ranked higher than some UC's.</p>
