Transfer GPA

Colleges and Universities A-Z Rutgers University

<p>Hi,
I recently submitted an application to transfer to Rutgers for the Fall 2011 semester. I applied to SAS and SEBS. Just a quick question: I am currently a sophomore at a four year college in NJ and my college GPA is a 3.41. This past semester at my current school I got all A-'s except for a C in organic chemistry, which is what brought my GPA down a bit. How bad do you think the C looks in terms of my chances of being admitted? My other stats include: a 4.2 weighted/3.95 unweighted high school GPA, 1980/2400 SAT, and a 29 ACT. I'm just not sure how much they'll even look at this information since I already have 53 credits.</p>

<p>Also, on the application status screen it says that they still need a college transcript updated through December 2010. Do you think this means they received my transcript (which I sent out mid-December) but need an updated one with the past semester grades, or that they didn't receive it at all? </p>

<p>Thank so much for the help, much appreciated!!</p>

<p>“C” will not look that bad, because your overall GPA still 3.0 above. My bro’s friend got into SAS with 3.1. If you have more than 30+ credits, I doubt they will even look at your High School stats.</p>

<p>Regarding the college transcript, Rutgers wants all your grade through Fall 2010. I think it says in the reqs, that you have to submit all the grade through the application’s due date which is Feb 1st. </p>

<p>I’m in the same boat with you, I’m applying to the SAS and the Business school for Fall 2011. I applied back in Novembe and recently I just updated my Fall 2010 grade.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>
