<p>Hello
Im freshman who just finished first semester of my college at binghamton. It has always been my dream to goto unc but I got rly bad gpa 3.22 with C in calculus at suny binghamton. Would it ruin my chance of going to unc completely? or if i manage to get two almost perfect gpa for two semesters would it bring up my chance? Do you recommend other school? How should I go from here. Thank you for your consideration</p>
<p>It’s never the end, however I’d apply for junior transfer. Do really well these next three two semesters and show UNC that the first semester is not a true representation of your academic capabilities and that first semester was just part of an adjusting process. Colleges love upward trends and you could easily boost your 3.22- 3.6-3.7 if you get a 3.8-4.0 for these next two semester. I had a very similar GPA to you for first semester and raised it to a 3.8 GPA for second semester followed by a 3.94 GPA by first semester sophomore year and in a matter of two semesters, went from a 3.0-3.6 GPA overall and 3.86 Major GPA. </p>
<p>Get involved on campus too! The more well rounded you are is better. Find your passion and get involved with activities that show you are committed and dedicated, try getting a leadership role in one or two. </p>
<p>Write amazing essays, treat them seriously and work on them months in advance. These essays are your interview, so they’re a big part of the decision.</p>
<p>Hope this helps! I successfully transferred into UNC for junior year from the University of Miami. </p>
<p>If you have any questions at all, feel free to message me. I could recommend other schools, but it would help me more if I knew your major. Public schools comparable to UNC are UMich and UVA.</p>
