Question about transferring to U of M...?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Minnesota

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I currently have a 3.0 at a community college in that I am in, but I want to go to the University of Minnesota that requires a minimum of a 2.5 gpa for transfer (in the CLA). I have a 3.0, but the down fall of it is that I am in a remedial math class :( I can't do math at all. I'm applying to the Liberal Arts dept. for U of M, but would this still look bad and my record weak compared to other candidates?</p>

<p>Enviornmental Science- A
U.S History- C
Intro. to Busi- B
Pre-Alg- I dropped because of an emergency with my family, I am now retaking it.
Intro to Theatre- I took this and it transferred from HS to a college credit.</p>

<p>Now I am taking
US Gov't
ENC 1101
Speech
pre-alg..
I'm doing really well this semester...plus I'm taking two courses in the summer (may possibly be 3, then i'll apply to the U of M).</p>

<p>Do you think I have a chance? Would I lbe looked down upon because I have a prep math class and I dropped it last semester because of a family emergency (but retaking it now!)?
What can I do to make myself a better candidate? (Internship? Volunteering?, etc)
Thanks!</p>

<p>So far I have straight A’s! I’m just worried that they’ll reject me as a transfer student, because I have been placed in a Math remedial class
Do you think that’s possible? I did check, and they offer the remedial classes =/ I should be out of the two math classes, by time i apply to the U of M</p>

<p>This link talks about an agreement between the U of MN and 7 of the MN community colleges. It refers to kids getting their AA, but some of it might apply to you. The key is to make sure both your advisor and the U of MN contact are in sync with what courses are available for transfer. Make an appointment with your advisor.</p>
