<p>How much does Georgetown consider high school grades in the transfer process? I am aware that 3.1 UW HS GPA (competitive prep school) combined with a 1300 SAT (670 V 630 M) would have been rejected as a freshman applicant, but will a 3.6 college GPA from a top 35 LAC in addition to playing varsity baseball and tutoring at the local middle school make me a competitive transfer student? I am hoping that some support from the Gtown baseball coach in the admissions office will help. </p>
<p>How much will the interview impact my decision? </p>
<p>I welcome any comments from past GU transfer students.</p>
<p>I read through the last two years worth of transfer application threads on this forum and discovered that a lot of people, especially non-traditionals, with less than stellar high school transcripts were rejected because of their high school grades. It seems ridiculous that someone with a 3.8+ gpa and excellent softs and essays should be rejected because of that but I suppose it just shows how competitive it is getting into Georgetown.</p>
<p>I am trying not to get my hopes up because of the same concern you have since I’m in the same boat.</p>
<p>yeah, unfortunately I am afraid that my less than stellar HS GPA will lead to rejection even with a decent college GPA and good recs from adviser, prof, and HS guidance officer. </p>
<p>I guess I can only hope that a good interview report along with some support from the baseball coach could push me over the edge. </p>
<p>Other wishful thinking,the economic climate will cause less people to apply to Gtown due to shrinking FA for transfer students. </p>
<p>Good luck to you in the transfer process and hopefully I will see you at Georgetown next year</p>
<p>I’m also worried. I applied to SFS this year, and had a <2.5 HS GPA. We’ll see…</p>
<p>hey, I’ve applied to SFS this year as well. My high school grades were around a 2.0, though my grades at uni are around 3.9. I’m hoping to get in, but I’m still expecting a big “NOPE!” in my mail…</p>
<p>one would think that the longer you’ve been out of high school though, the less importance would be put on your hs grades.</p>
