<p>Is anyone here familiar with transfer admissions for UNC-CH?</p>

<p>DS is currently a sophomore and is looking to transfer schools. The biggest thing holding him back right now (mainly for selective schools) is his “low” gpa (3.2) from NYU. </p>

<p>I’ve been helping my son put together a short list of reach schools together and would like to see if he even has a marginal chance of getting in given his gpa. Anyone know the gpa range of accepted students at this institution? No hooks, unless being a URM counts as one.</p>

<p>If I were you, and your son, I would put off transferring until he can transfer in as a junior. It is much easier to get in as a junior than a sophomore. </p>

<p>I also do not think UNC will view 3.2 from NYU as “low”</p>

<p>Finally, the GPA range for 1st and 2nd year (transfers) is pretty high. :\ However, it is a lot less brutal as a junior. If he can tough it out one more year, I would advise that. However, it never hurts to try! :slight_smile: Good luck to your son!</p>
