Hi all! I’m really having trouble deciding if I should apply to schools to transfer this semester or wait until next fall. I think my chances would be better then but I’d ideally like to transfer ASAP.
Currently I’m a second-semester freshman at Gettysburg College, a nationally well ranked liberal arts school.
I want to transfer to George Washington University but last semster’s GPA was not great because i took a chance and took Arabic for the semster and got a C-. Here are my (unfortunate) stats
Overall GPA: 2.83
Involved in 3 campus activities now
High school highly involved, but doesnt matter that much.
An advisor said to simply explain the one bad grade, but I’m not convinced.
Im currently in classes i really think that could pull up my GPA, but the colleges will only see the midterm reports, and thats not calculated in the GPA. Should i stick it out another semester, do well and then try applying next fall for the spring 2016 semester? Do I have any chance as of now/ Please help! Thank you!
