Transfer chances?

Transfer Students

<p>Im a freshman at CNU in Virginia, and I'm applying to JMU, Tech, UMD, and then maybe UVA for the fall of 2006. Here are my grades, just wondering where you think I could get in.</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.3, was kinda low but I got like a 3.6 and a 3.8 my junior and senior year, and had 5 AP's
SAT: 1280</p>

<p>College GPA after 1st semester: 3.4 </p>

<p>I dont know what else theyll look at, but yeah im a Virginia resident so what do you think my chances are at Virginia Tech, James Madison, Maryland and UVA.</p>

<p>no one here has gotten into these schools as a transfer?</p>

<p>you have more than a good shot, depending on what you are majoring in, at all of the schools you mentioned except for UVA</p>

<p>Im business undecided right now, and do you know if schools look at mid semester grades? I have easier classes next semester so im pretty sure ill do better, and I could send those in too, or do they not look at it. </p>

<p>Also, should I even bother applying to UVA or is it basically no chance, I know getting in as a freshman is really hard, but I dont know much about transferring there.</p>

<p>Mcintire is extremely competitive</p>

<p>YOu need close to a 4.0 to be a competitive applicant.</p>

<p>You could try bringing your grades up, send in a mid-semester grade sheet, and apply to the A&S department - Then, you could interally transfer your sophmore year to the business department</p>

<p>The Robert H. Smith undergrad business program at UMDCP is great - however, in your case, it may be a bit hard to get in - i think the program looks for applicants with over a 3.7, maybe 3.6</p>

<p>My advice? Stay at your current school longer and bring your grades up and apply at the end of your sophmore year as a junior transfer.</p>

<p>Take hard classes - get good grades</p>

<p>For UVA ii'm applying to their arts and sciences school because you have to be a junior for the business program. For Maryland, do you know if you enter the business program right away as a freshman or is it as a junior?</p>

<p>i'm not sure about maryland - check their website or just call</p>

<p>if you are serious about UVA, you should wait and apply for your junior year</p>

<p>but i suppose if you get rejected, you could always apply again the year after</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>You are a shoe in for all of them (minus UVA)</p>
