Spring 2019 transfer, what are my chances?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

I am a sophomore going to a 4 year college right now, and really want to transfer to Rutgers NB SAS (criminal justice) for next semester, spring 2019. I am right now going to a commuter school. I didn’t do so well freshman year but last semester i got a D and now my gpa is around a 2.5, and i know they want at least 2.8+.

I also took college classes through universities that i got college credit for during high school and my gpa of those 4 classes i took together is a 2.9, but they don’t count towards my current gpa because since they’re transferred, the college accepted the credits but they didn’t count the grades to my current GPA.
1st question:
Will they look at all of my scores from every single college class i ever took and create a GPA, or will they just look at the GPA from the school im at right now that’s not including those other 4 classes.

This current semester im looking to improve my GPA by doing well in the classes im taking now, but will that even help me? will they have me send my transcript to them when this fall 2018 semester is over to see if i improved my grades.
2nd question:
Can i do well this semester and improve my gpa so i can attend RU in the spring 2019, or will they not even take into account how i did this semester.

I went on a tour of the campus and the admissions counselor i talked to told me that they won’t make a decision until they see my grades at the end of this semester.

I really want to go to NB next semester

Thanks for any help!

I think that you need to work hard, make a strong effort to stay ahead in your classes, seek out help where you need it, and get the best grades that you can. If you can pull up your GPA, then at some point this will open up the opportunities that you are looking for.

I’m also applying to transfer and I’m so nervous. I was originally at Umass Amherst, but I had to take a medical leave during my second semester so basically I have a bunch of W’s. My first semester GPA was a 3.2 and now I’m applying to Rutgers NB to go into SAS.

I will have a total of 23 credits. I’m also taking two classes at Bergen Community.

Do I have a chance?
