<p>I got a C in anthropology. How much does this hurt my chances of getting accepted to Stern? I know that anthropology doesn't have much relevance to business, so I was thinking that maybe they would not care <em>too</em> much. What about also getting B's in history, computer class, and world music. I am thinking that my chances of being accepted aren't great, but since all of these classes are not business-related and are not the specific classes necessary for transfer, maybe it is not a huge deal. Also, in the other six classes I have taken, I received A's (two of them being in writing classes, one semester of which is required for transfer).</p>
<p>Any input or thoughts? Am I screwed or do I stand a chance? I still have to take microeconomics and calculus, the two other required courses for transfer. What if I got A's in those?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Is this an internal or external transfer?</p>
<p>It would be external from a California CC</p>
<p>What is your GPA? Around cumulative 3.7?</p>
<p>Since enrollment in CC, my GPA is 3.625. But it says cumulative is 3.265, which is not impressive. I am assuming cumulative includes high school? My cumulative in high school was was 3.35. I stopped trying as hard half-way through because I was unmotivated/didn’t have goals like I do now (immaturity thing, probably).</p>
<p>I can/will get it higher because I have another ~2 semesters of community college because after the next one, I will be in calculus, which is required for transfer. I have gotten 3 B’s (World Music, intro computer class, and history) and 6 A’s (2 writing classes, statistics, music class, recording studio class, Human Sexuality).</p>
<p>Does that make sense that my cumulative would be 3.265 after getting a college cumulative of 3.5? That doesn’t really seem to make sense… If my college GPA was significantly higher than my cumulative, Could they look at my college GPA and compare it and see the contrast, thus helping me, (because it would look like I am serious now, which is true.</p>
<p>Scratch everything I just wrote, I messed up.</p>

<p>Cumulative does NOT include high school. And yes, they do look at trends in your grade. Also, since you’re applying as a junior, your high school grades will not be considered as highly as your college grades.</p>
<p>Since you’ll taking Calculus the semester that you are transferring, you won’t have its final grade at the time of application. I would advise you to send in a mid-term report in that case.</p>
<p>Idk much but I feel like your chances of transferring to Stern are pretty low with those numbers… Sorry.</p>
<p>If your college GPA is indeed 3.6x, and you can pull of a 4.0 next semester and a 4.0 on your midterm report the semester you apply, you have a decent shot. Your GPA HAS o be above 3.7 for a decent chance, so you need to bring it up.</p>
<p>Also, essays are everything. I’ve seen people with 4.0s get rejected and people with 3.7s get in. Make them unique, make yourself stand out and have solid, concrete reasons for transferring other than prestige or “being in the city, opportunities, etc.” generic-ness.</p>
<p>OP, what part of Calif are you in?</p>
<p>Northern, Sacramento area</p>
