Transfer Students
1

<p>OK so I am currently trying to transfer into either U of C (University of Chicago) or Northwestern (Evanston).</p>

<p>I did not do too hot in high school.
3.3 GPA (4.0 scale)
30 ACT
AP: 3,4,3,3
played a decent amount of sports through high school (football, basketball, volleyball)</p>

<p>Currently attending University of Iowa (Iowa City) I am a freshman
4.14 GPA 1st semester (17 credit hours)(4.0 scale)
expecting 4.0 plus this semester (17 credit hours)
did some community service in college</p>

<p>I know this is limited information but I would beyond appreciate any input.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>How do you get a 4.14 out of 4.0 in college??</p>

3

<p>how many hours do you have? EC’s?</p>

<p>^Also, what he said? How did you get a 4.14 out of 4.00?</p>

<p>first semester I did 17 hours also this many this semester. As for my ECs worked a job through senior year 25 hours a week and played tennis in hs along with a basketball league plus a business club. In college I did some community service. </p>

<p>At the University of Iowa most classes run on a +/- scale so I received 2 A+'s and it my gpa is listed at 4.14 unofficially.</p>

5

<p>if they count an A+ as 4.33, then your gpa would be out of 4.33 I believe</p>

6

<p>i received 2 A+ grades and the rest were As so not necessarily</p>

<p>how far of a reach is university of chicago for me</p>

<p>I am in the same boat as glabuz. I too am considering am looking at the University of Chicago as transfer and have a less than perfect high school resume and and a 4.0 at a large state school. But I don’t think the University of Chicago takes spring transfers so we both will have to wait regardless. If both glabuz and I kept up the stellar work, how much of a reach would the University of Chicago be?</p>
