This is a thread for transfer students to post their decisions. I know there is already a decision thread for all students, but this is supposed to help future transfer students to get an idea of their chances.
Hey I’m also a transfer student. I applied for transfer last year with a 3.2 gpa from a community college and was deferred and then denied. This year I’m applying with a 3.4 gpa and 70 credits done that include calc(1,2,3,diifeq) and physics i and ii. I’m applying for electrical engineering. Hopefully we’ll know the result sooon. Good luck
Also I am instate.
I got in!!!

Anyone else not seeing any changes to their portal?
@undagada They said most would get theirs today, so you’ll probably get it Saturday evening.
Posting for my DH -
Decision: Accepted
Current Institutions: Wake Tech part time for many, many years LOL
Current Status: Enough hours for Junior depending on how everything tranfers
Major Applied For: History
GPA: 3.25 (around there)
Total credits transferred by Fall 2016: 70+
Classes: Everything for History major except 300 & 400 Level History courses, except for 1 math, 1 weird gen ed class I couldn’t get at Wake Tech and a set of history survey courses that weren’t available at Tech. So glad to finally be able to take upper level in my major.
Honestly, I’m really glad that I spent a ton less $ at Wake Tech and will still graduate with a NSCU degree and have my major specific courses there. If you don’t have a great financial aid package, I highly recommend this as an option.
Attending or not attending: Attending.
@KapFamily So did he complete an associates degree or just took as many courses as he could so that you guys could spend less money?
Hey! I just finished freshman year. I applied as a transfer student with 41 credits from the University of Alabama ( 12 are from high school). I applied late so I am being viewed with the group finding out June 15. I also would be an out of state student. This is the only school I applied to so hopefully I get in but if not I will be staying at Alabama and retry for spring. Do you guys think I have a good chance?
High school weighted GPA: 4.3
GPA college: 3.43
Major at Alabama: Biology
Major applying as: Animal Science
I think you have a pretty good chance. I had a friend who applied for animal science with fewer credits than you and had a GPA somewhere around 3.4 and got in. As long as you have English I & II, pre-calc, and either Bio or Chem, you should be fine.
According to the admission profile, the acceptance rate for NC residents for Agriculture and Life Science majors was 42% while those out of state (but not international) was 35%. That’s probably not reassuring, but I’m just giving you some statistics. It may be that more out-of-state students didn’t read the requirements.
If you want to know my friend’s exact statistics or have any other questions, just ask. Also let me know if you get in!
@gbrl10 Thank you so much for replying! I have all the classes completed that you listed. I have not taking chem but have two semesters of biology so hopefully that is okay! if you don’t mind I would love to know your friends exact statistics. Also when did they apply?
Alright! Here are the stats from my friend.
Decision: Accepted
Current Institution: Mars Hill (in-state)
Current Status: Freshman
Major Applied: Animal Science
GPA: 3.4 (Again, I don’t know the exact but it was between 3.40-3.49)

Fall 2016 (in parentheses is the equivalent NCSU course):
ENG 112 (ENG 101)
CHM 113 (CHEM 101 AND CHEM 102)
FYS 111 (no equivalent State course)
MTH 115 (MA 141 AND MA 1)
BIO 121 (GN 2)

I’m not sure when she applied, but I believe that it was sometime in January. I also don’t know the exact letter grades for each class, but she never got lower than a B.
If you don’t get in this time, I guess you should just take chemistry to increase your chances. Though, I think you’ll get in. Last year, the average GPA for accepted transfer students was 3.42, so you’re right in the average.
thank you!!
I just got in!!
