I am looking to transfer to Summer of 2018, I recently saw they accepted students last year with 1180 on the SAT for summer. I am currently in a community college. I only took 3 classes this semester with a 3.0 gpa, and I took 2 ap passing both in high school. My high school gpa was 4.1. Do you think I stand a chance?
When you leave your current college will have an AA? Depending on how many credit hours you have attempted & how many semesters you have attended at community college, you are no longer considered a freshman. You would be applying as an transfer student and they prefer transfer students to have an AA degree before letting them in. I know from my own experience that they do not look at the ACT or SAT so if the score you have looks low, you don’t have to report it on your application. The best thing you can do:
-
GPA of 3.0 or above
-
an AA when you finish your time with the current college
-
The prerequisites of any program you are applying for already done and passed.
Your chances of getting in goes up even more if you choose an open access program rather than limited access, as limited access programs are ultra competitive(especially any business related programs) and you would have to know someone who works in that program to get in if you are not a great candidate. When you apply as an transfer, you are applying twice, first to get approval from the admissions office and again from whatever program you want to study under. If you have 90+ credit hours then you have to write a letter that address why they should take a chance on you, what are you doing to maintain a healthy and balanced life, and what are you plans for success currently and in the future(helps if you include the various FSU offices and programs throughout to show you have done your research on the school and show how their offerings can enhance your life, not to mention shows interest beyond “I just want to get in”).
Hi thanks for the help. I do not have my college AA I am only a freshmen in college. My GPA is high enough and I’m applying as a transfer student. I just wanna know if I have a chance without an AA
