Thank god I found here...!

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am an international students who's currently enrolling at University of Wisconsin, not Madison.
I am sophomore now, and plan to transfer to Madison (well, this is the first choice) or other universities. No matter what states. My goal is Top 50.</p>

<p>So I am so stressful now. Because I just have IELTS score which was only 6.0 and no TOFEL. I will take them asap before most schools' deadlines I think.</p>

<p>My Stats----
1st semester GPA 3.30
2st semester GPA 2.53, Cum GPA 2.90<br>
(I failed my applied calculus ON PURPOSE. Because I thought I can get an A but I just made some stupid mistakes during the first two exams and could just got AB. Then I didn't go to the class anymore, so professor gave me F. This semester I retake it. I think I'll get an A. This is a 4 credits course.)</p>

<hr>

<p>So:
1. If I got an A on applied calculus, will the Cum GPA grow very high?
2. Mine are all A, AB and B so far. Only a D for a 1 credit course (a non important one) If I keep working like this, is it good enough to transfer to a top 50?
3. As I'm in UW system, someone told me transferred to Madison would be easier than students from other States. Is that right?
4. I am in an sorority now. If I have more volunteer hours, will it be helpful?
5. At last, what is the key elements for schools accepting an international transfer students..........????!!!</p>

<p>I would like everyone who answers my questions. Thank you so much. I am so confused now.</p>

<p>Your GPA is pretty low to transfer to a great school, but I’m sure you could get into at least a few “Top 50” schools. Being from the UW system, i’m sure, is probably beneficial to getting into Madison? But, then agian I could be wrong.</p>

<p>Get your GPA above 3.0 and continue to volunteer and you should be fine. Just be aware you aren’t getting into Yale or anything</p>

<p>Thank you RileyJohn. I’m not considering about Yale btw :slight_smile:
Actually I think My GPA this semester will be higher than 3.0 because the retake class will cover the failed one.</p>

<p>Thank you again!</p>

<p>hey guys I’m back… My GPA this semester is 3.74 or 3.66, one of them still not posts.
And I didn’t get A on calc, AB instead… but I got A on stats :)</p>

<p>So who can chance me now?
Do you think I can apply UW Madison? And any other school recommend for my level (kinda like cum gpa 3.3-3.6)??</p>

<p>Thank you so much and happy new year~!!!</p>
