<p>Applying for sophomore year.
Stats:
ACT: 32
High School GPA-UW/W: 3.80/4.49
College GPA: 3.038
Rank: 5/39
Applied to Marshall and Undecided.</p>
<p>I can't help but feel it's a long shot, any words of hope/encouragement?</p>
<p>How many college credits do you have? Why is that GPA so low?</p>
<p>I have 17 transferable credits - unfortunately the only prereqs I have fulfilled are GE 3, 2 semesters (1 fall, 1 spring) of language, business prereqs (except for Intro to Macro), and the Writing Requirement. I’m taking 18 credits this semester. I really have no excuse for my GPA - I found the transition into college somewhat hard, but I know I can do much better this semester.</p>
<p>I feel you. I’m applying as a transfer with a 2.98 current gpa. I’d have a 3.2 if it wasn’t for my first semester at college. And it’s a long shot for people even with the right gpa, but if you don’t try you definitely won’t get in! Gotta keep positive and hope for the best!</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about the transfer scholarships for the Marshall Business School? I am hoping to transfer with a 3.79 college GPA, I have completed Financial/Managerial Accounting, Micro/Macroeconomics and Business Calculus I and II. I have completed 63 credit hours total (so I’m not sending SAT/ACT scores) and have written decent essays. I have an ok amount of extracurriculars/volunteer work. My high school transcript is mediocre at best (Top 40% of graduating class, but did take several AP classes and got A’s and B’s). However, I don’t think the HS transcript matters that much if you’ve completed 63 credit hrs. Do you think I have any chance at a scholarship? Any info would be great.</p>
