Hoping to Transfer Any Idea on Chances???

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
1

<p>Transferring From: United States Military Academy
Current Classification: Applying as a Sophomore
College GPA: 2.1
Major: War Peace and Defense
High School GPA: I believe it was around a 3.2 I graduated back in 2009
SAT (Reading and Math) : 1310
I have 2 very strong recommendations, one from a UNC grad school graduate.</p>

<p>I spent almost 2 years working in sales, after high school
Enlisted in the army after that and served for a year and a half with the 82nd Airborne
No Deployments, but I have multiple badges and awards for service
Nominated to go to West Point by my Company Commander as a direct admit cadet
I'm still a nationally registered EMT and will be volunteering as an EMT in Chapel Hill if I am admitted</p>

<p>I know based on my GPA I don't stand a chance, but I have heard that schools tend to look at military academy transcripts a little differently, and look very favorably on military service. I am also from North Carolina right near UNC, I'm not sure if that makes any difference or not. </p>

<p>So you served in the military? Yeah, they overlook lower GPAs and such, however; your GPA is super low. Any chance you can improve that GPA and apply as a junior transfer? You’d have a MUCH better shot. Just my .02</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>
