<p>I am currently considering applying to transfer to Georgetown. Unfortunately, my stats aren't outstanding. At a top 15 university, I currently have a 3.56 GPA (after first semester). Although, I'm fairly certain that I'm going to do better this semester. Will those new grades be seen by admissions? Will the fact that I'm at a top school help balance out my poor GPA? Do I have any chance at Georgetown?</p>
<p>Additional info:</p>
<p>3.56 high school gpa (not a typo, high school and current college GPAs are the same)
1460/2200 SAT
33 ACT
6 5's on AP tests
Lots of varsity letters and captainships

<p>^well, your test scores look good and your AP’s impressive. I do think that your High School GPA is low but how much attention they pay to it depends on what year transfer you are.</p>
<p>It will also be helpful to know what school you are going to. If the school is considered good in terms of not inflating grades, that will help you be competitive against 4.0’s from not-so-good schools. Still, I think an average transfer GPA is 3.7 so its hard to tell.</p>
<p>Something makes me think that you are a good test taker given your GPA’s or that your High School was extremely competitive. If its just your test taking skills, I think that would be a disadvantage.</p>
<p>Overall, I do think you have a good chance of getting in depending how good your recommendation letters and dean’s report are.</p>
