<p>I am currently a first semester sophomore at Boston University. I am considering transferring to UNC next fall, but as of last semester I only have a 3.08 GPA. I'm unsure of what my chances of getting in are but I figured I'd see what people thought! Any advice?</p>
<p>Reposting from the other thread:</p>
<p>It seems harder to transfer as an incoming Sophomore. This should clear up some ambiguity about whether they look at HS vs College transfer admit data. This is for transfer applicants in 2011:</p>

<p>" Fall 2011 Enrolling Class
2,848 applied
1,048 were admitted
680 enrolled</p>
<pre><code>Approximately 51% were female and 49% were male. 36% enrolled as sophomores and 64% as juniors. 27% of the enrolling class were non-traditional students older than age 22.
</code></pre>
<p>For enrolling sophomores, the average college GPA was 3.64 and the average SAT was 1247 (Critical Reading plus Math). For enrolling juniors, the average college GPA was 3.58 and the average SAT (not required of juniors) was 1209 (Critical Reading plus Math).</p>
<p>We take into consideration both your high school and college work as we evaluate your academic record. The more college work you have completed and the longer it has been since you graduated from high school, the more heavily we consider your college transcript rather than your high school record. For sophomores who are transferring with only one to two semesters of college work, your high school performance and curriculum are important factors in our decision. "</p>
<p>In addition, these three links I’ll post below will have even more contextual information. However, it’s from 2006 so not the most up-to-date…</p>
<p>In 2006:
Admitted sophomore transfers had slightly lower SATs (~20pts) than instate freshman admits. Admitted Junior applicants had much lower SATs (~130pts). Average transfer College GPA was approximately 3.45.</p>
<p>It seems, comparing this to 2011 data, that it is harder to get in as a transfer than it was in 2006. GPA is 0.20 higher and SATs are slightly up for Junior transfers though relatively steady for Sophomore transfers ~1250/1600.</p>
