<p>I was just wondering if one could transfer with a 3.5 or 3.6-4.0 GPA to the following colleges:
University of Wisconsin
University of Illinois
University of Texas
University of Pennsylvannia
Rice University
Stanford
University of Notre Dame
USC
University of Michigan
University of California
UCLA and
Any Ivy League School?
Please</p>
<p>USC will take a 3.5 or 3.6</p>
<p>No on on UCLA, and Stanford</p>
<p>I dont know about schools outside california</p>
<p>Yes to all of those schools except Stanford. I cannot be sure regarding the Ivy Leagues, however. Perhaps Cornell?</p>
<p>This is far too general, however, since more information is needed. What school are you attending? How many hours/credits does 3.6 represent? What is your intended major? Why do you want to transfer?</p>
<p>tncpauld, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? UCLA accepts over 40 percent of its transfer applicants, while transferring into USC is much more difficult as it accepts barely 30 percent of its applicants (and this year it was less as there were far more applicants than expected). The average GPA of transfer applicants who are admitted to UCLA is 3.50. That means that there are plenty of transfer students which GPA's well under 3.5 who are accepted to UCLA.</p>
<p>The 7 Ivies that accept transfers all state something to the effect of "competitive applicants have a gpa of 3.5 or above."</p>
<p>"3.5 or 3.6-4.0"</p>
<p>Huh? You're asking if you have a shot at transfering with a perfect GPA? I must've missed something if it's possible to get above a 4.0 in college.</p>
<p>sorry, for some reason i was thinking about business economics, i don't know why.</p>
<p>it is possible to get a 4.0 in college :)...</p>
<p>matm attained a 4.0</p>
<p>Yes, I realize that it's possible to get a 4.0 in college.</p>
<p>"I must've missed something if it's possible to get ABOVE a 4.0 in college"</p>
<p>My point being edemboi85 was asking if it's "OK" to transfer to another school with a GPA ranging from a 3.6 to a 4.0, basically asking if a perfect GPA is acceptable from a transfer student.</p>
<p>My response: Of course, it's not possible to get anything higher.</p>
<p>OOOO i get ya now!!!...sorry :p</p>
<p>btw...which USC are you talkin about!...U of Southern Cal or U of South Carolina</p>
<p>and what college do you go to now...that can make a big difference</p>
<p>3.6 is a little low I think for most of those schools. I'd try to boost your GPA a bit. A lot depends on your major. If you're trying to get into a very competitive major, a 3.6 will more then likly not cut it. Try to get your grades up a bit and you should have a pretty good chance.</p>
<p>It also depends on where you're transferring from. If you're coming from a community college and couldn't get above 3.5, that's going to hurt you at a lot of top colleges.</p>
<p>Very true...I struggled to get in to UVa as a transfer from Virginia Tech with a 4.0 with 30 credit hours and a rather difficult courseload...so attempting the Ivies might be pushing it a lil bit</p>
<p>i go to the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, and that is one of the best schools in the state of Wisconsin, and I was wondering if a 3.6 gpa would be enough for the schools i posted earlier in this thread.</p>
<p>I think whether a 3.6 would be "enough" depends on the rest of your application. If you are both heavily involved in and have made great contributions to several extracurricular activities (clubs, volunteer work, internships, activist groups, etc.) then a 3.6 gpa obtained from a rigorous selection of courses should be fine. However, if you earned a 3.6 gpa by taking fairly easy classes and have not done any significant extracurricular work, then a 3.6 probably isn't enough.</p>
<p>I don't think any school simply looks at a GPA and decides based on that. My GPA for the semester at community college is probably going to be a 4.0 or just under. 3 of the 4 classes I took were really, really easy, probably easier than most highschool classes because of the way they were graded. I'm guessing getting it would probably be harder to get like a 3.0 at Berkeley or Chicago than a 4.0 at my community college. Colleges know this, and I bet that 13% that got in at Stanford came from schools that were known for having rigorous curriculums.</p>
<p>Also, 4.3 is the maximum at some schools (e.g. Cornell). From what I understand, people do get over a 4.0 that take lots of courses with objective grading (calc) but it's next to impossible in the humanities.</p>
