<p>I'm currently a sophomore at Syracuse University which is a pretty high ranked University.</p>

<p>GPA: About 3.18-3.2
Current Credits: 25
Credits By December: 37</p>

<p>Semester 1:
Calculus I - B+
Chemistry I - C+
Chemistry Lab I - A
Biology I - B
Writing I - B
CAS - A</p>

<p>Semester 2:
Calculus II - A
Chemistry II - B-
Chemistry Lab II - B
Religion I - A-</p>

<p>Semester 3 (Current Estimates):
Philosophy - B
Psychology I - A
Economics I - B+
Cell Biology - C+</p>

<p>So I should end this third semester by about december with close to a 3.2 GPA and 37 credits. I'm from Michigan, as well. I really need to go back to my home state because someone in my family has been diagnosed with Cancer and I want to be closer with them. I have a few EC's from a couple clubs and some volunteering.</p>

<p>I'll apply early January for fall of 2013, do you guys think I have a decent chance especially since I'm coming from a higher ranked university instead of a community college.</p>

<p>Please let me know what I can/should do to improve my chances of being accepted for Fall of 2013. It's somewhat dire for me because of the situation for this family member.</p>

<p>Stretch. GPA below 3.3 is definitely a toss up. If you don’t, transfer to LCC for a semester or year and get your GPA up before applying to MSU again. </p>

<p>I am so sorry about your family situation. I stayed in-state because of my parents’ health and haven’t regretted it a minute. Best wishes to you!</p>

<p>I see. thank you. Do you think putting down some clubs/activities/volunteers would help me?
I’ll have about 38 credits when I apply in early January. </p>

<p>Would you say I’m around a 50-60% chance I could get in?</p>

<p>Does coming from a fairly good university similar in level to MSU help my chances at all either?</p>

<p>I would make sure you find a place in your application to bring up your family situation. Cancer sucks. In this case, use it to your advantage.</p>
