High School GPA: 3.6 UW 3.8 W
ACT : 33 (34 superscore)
I did not apply to any non schools other than faith-based institution after hs.
One Ap score : 4 in US history
EC’s in HS
-Varsity soccer 3 years (captain senior year)
-2 years senator for class office
-1 year Parliamentarian for student government
-1 year Parliamentarian for class office

Im quite concerned as I attended several schools before transferring (for health and family reasons), And have a lower than average gpa a from a lower-tier college.
I would submit my application with 45 credits earned.

How do Schools assess college gpa, standardized testing scores, and ECs in their transfer applicants ?
Will my ACT score even matter to the admission officers?

I know UC’s do not care.

Each place you apply to sets its own policy about these things. It really is OK for you to ask the transfer admissions officers all of your questions.

Why do you want to transfer?

How many credits do you currently have?

“I attended several schools”

Have you already transferred? The grass is not always greener at a different university.

I want to transfer since my current university does not offer an economics degree

I would have 45 units when i submit my transfer application.

I didn’t want to transfer from my previous schools. It was because of my previous religious belief so I only attended faith-based institutions in the past. I was in a dental program so I have no choice but to transfer if i want to study economics
