Transfer Chances ECU-UNC

<p>I just finished my first semester at east carolina university and I am considering transferring. My grades reflect a clear change of acedemic standing from my junior year to where i am today. My guarter gpa jumped from low to mid 2s up to high 3s. I want to transfer into chapel hill for economics. I tookmy SATs inmy junior year before i got my act together as is reflected in my grade. </p>

<p>Transfer next fall into my sophemore year
High school gpa: 2.64
College gpa: 3.81
SAT: 1560</p>

<p>EC: Eagle scout, worked in commodities trading hedge fund, future internships secured at Tudor investments and UBS bank, varsity swimming, president of a hands on science club, club swimming, marksmanship, worked in excavation, college republicans and a job at the rec center. </p>

<p>The problem is knowing that I mucked up my high school stats weighing on my future.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that i will be taking an officer position in my school’s financial management association. I have also played drums and guitar for 8 years</p>

<p>It will be difficult for you to get in. While your college GPA is impressive, when you apply to UNCCH as a sophomore, they look very closely at your high school stats. Your high school GPA is very low.</p>

<p>I would keep up the good work in community college, try to keep that GPA up there, and as a junior transfer, I’m almost certain you will be admitted.</p>

<p>I should add, that I am taking the SATs again this month. Also, East Carolina University is not community college.</p>

<p>Sorry, not sure why I said community college haha. It was quite late when I wrote that.</p>

<p>To be quite honest with you, I’d say your chances of getting in are slim to none. It hasn’t been long enough since high school, and a high school applicant with a 2.64 would have never been accepted to UNC.</p>

<p>Like I said, keep up the good work in your sophomore year, and you have a good chance of transferring as a junior. Good luck!</p>
