*Low GPA Transfer Students to Good School (Top 50)*

Transfer Students
1

<p>Any people out there who had a low gpa in college (3.0 - 3.3 or otherwise) and transferred to a Top 50 school. What Gpa Did you get, and from where to where?</p>

2

<p>You can get into Tulane.</p>

3

<p>what about UT Austin?</p>

4

<p>I remember somebody on the USC decision thread getting in with a 2.8 GPA. My sister’s best friend got into to NYU,GWU UMiami and Tufts with a 3.3. I also know of somebody who who was accepted into YALE with a 3.4 gpa. NEVER GIVE UP DAMMIT NO MATTER WHAT ANY OF THESE FREAKS TELL YOU!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I love you :D…thanks!</p>

6

<p>People with 3.0-3.4 transfer from CCC to places like UC-Davis (top 50) all the time.</p>

7

<p>Or UCSD (top 40).</p>

8

<p>USC is the best school that a 3.3ish student can get into. depends on the major though</p>

9

<p>@OrsonSwells – Can you explain the situations on all of those? Particularly the USC transfer?</p>

There are also other students with low gpas getting in.</p>

<p>My sister’s best friend really f’d up her 1 st semester at a top rate LAC, dropped out, started anew at a cc the following fall semester and never looked backed.</p>

<p>As far as the Yale case, I really don’t know to much about the person. She was an acquaintance of acquaitance, so I didn’t know her personally. All I know is she had a 3.4 gpa and she transferred form hunter college. I have no idea what her “hook” was, although I can imagined she must’ve really impressed the hell out of the adcoms at Yale.</p>

11

<p>So basically I should have really good essays and a good resume. So to boost my application, should i do stuff like blood drives, joining various clubs etc. will it help?</p>

12

<p>Ya adopt a baby…just get some help on your essays and that will be a def boost</p>

13

<p>I know a CC poster got into Penn from William and Mary with a 3.3gpa as a Junior transfer he/she had a 1460/1600 on the SAT and was in the top 5% of her HS class</p>

14

<p>These anecdotes tell you nothing. Was the Yale transfer from Hunter perhaps a low income URM. A friend of a friend? At schools with a 2% transfer admissions rate something has to be remarkable.</p>

<p>USC has guaranteed transfer relationships with some CA CCs.</p>

<p>I would also note that where the 3.3 is from, high school record, ECs and SAT scores will play a large role at most.</p>

15

<p>Hmom5- no this person was caucasian. I 'm sure she had something remarkable.</p>

<p>Dammit, did you even bother to read the usc decision thread? </p>

<p>My sis’ bff dropped out of Mt. Holyoke. Her hs stats were great, not necessarily mindblowing.</p>

16

<p>I had a 3.4~ and I got into NYU Steinhardt. That being said, I’m also the daughter of a Professor at one of NYU’s colleges and I had three semesters at CC under my belt. I also had internships, played a varsity sport and was a student teacher. I was rejected by NYU in 2005 as an ED candidate.</p>

17

<p>what about transferring with a 2.95? What are the chances with that GPA?</p>

18

<p>A 2.95 GPA from UC San Diego?</p>

19

<p>I got into UNC with a 3.175 GPA from NYU (Stern). But, I think I got in based on HS stats and my essay, not college stats.</p>

<p>“Have you guys seen opposites where students with a low high school GPA (3.0-3.5) and high college GPA (3.5 and above) have made it into top schools as transfers?”</p>

<p>i second this</p>
