<p>I recently applied to University of Illinois at Chicago to major in Business Managerial Studies. It says the minimum GPA is 2.5, and it is highly recommended to take ENGL Comp 1 and 2, Finite Mathematics and Calculus 1. I have taken ENGL Comp 1 and 2, however I have not taken Finite Mathematics or Calculus 1. I'm applying for the Spring, which I already sent in my application, they received one of my transcripts and I'm waiting for them to receive another transcript worth 10 credits.</p>
<p>I have completed 51 hours at my current University with a GPA of 3.267 (I'm currently in classes as well now, which will put me at 64 credits for this transcript.) I also attended a smaller college which I only received 10 credits and a 2.67 GPA. (Speech B+, Algebra C+, Business Law C+.) My GPA with these two transcripts combined is a 3.162 (Meaning I took the 3 classes from the other college that were also on a scale of 4.0 and added them to my other transcript). Instead of taking math classes like Finite Mathematics and Calculus 1, I was taking my business core classes, (i.e. - Economics B, Principles of Management B+, Principles of Finance A, Business Statistics B, Managerial Accounting B, Financial/Cost Accounting B).</p>
<p>Basically, I'm curious to what my chances are of being accepted to the Business College at UIC. I don't have one of the recommended classes or one of the highly recommended classes, but I do have ENGL Comp 1 & 2, both completed with a B. I have math orientated business classes such as Business Statistics, Finance and both accounting classes completed with a B or higher. There are no requirements aside from minimum 2.5 GPA and 36 credit hours at the time of enrollment. The math classes and composition classes are recommended, not required.</p>
<p>you’ll have to excuse my lack of capital letters, i don’t have a shift key. i’d like to transfer there since my major is business. chicago has a ton of networking opportunities that a lot of cities do not. </p>
<p>i’m originally from michigan, which is in economic turmoil. i’m trying to get in a more urban area with a more stable economy. uic gives me the option of living off campus while not having to own a car. i can utilize public transportation without having to pay a 200 dollar parking fee a month.</p>
<p>Your best bet is to talk to a transfer admissions counselor at UIC, and ask them to provide statistics (if they have any) on last year’s transfers to business. Then you can gauge the likelyhood of your admittance. Is your application complete? Make the phone call, have your questions ready, and they’ll be glad to provide whatever answers they can.</p>
<p>Yeah, I talked to an adviser in the Business College about my transcript yesterday, thankfully. She said my GPA was competitive in comparison to most applicants and students in the college, which was a 3.0. I unfortunately do not have any math so I’d have to take a placement test. She said my chances were pretty good, but she couldn’t say for sure.</p>
<p>The reason I posted this up on here, was in hopes of finding someone who was either in the same shoes applying to the Business College currently or someone that had applied before with similar grades. Unfortunately, my biggest concern at this time is how late I’d be getting accepted. I’m worried about applicant space, really, especially because I do not have all the recommendations.</p>
<p>She had said she had multiple application reviews to go over still, and that all she could say was that I had good chances based upon my GPA and completion of English composition courses.</p>
<p>Anyways, thanks for the replies guys, hopefully I’ll get good news sometime next week. The waiting game for 3 weeks is kind of tiresome when I’m trying to get an off campus lease going and things of that nature.</p>
