<p>Im currently doing Engineering Science at a local community college and plan on transfering to a good 4 year school. My major is EE current GPA here is 2.68. I wanna know if there are any colleges that would accept me with that kind of gpa. I have looked NC State University and Penn State but they have 3.0 minimum I believe. What are other colleges that might be interesting to look at as far as my GPA is concerned? In in NY so colleges in the northeast would be preferable.</p>
<p>BUMP!! anyone? How is NYU Poly?</p>
<p>Here’s a list of SUNY schools with engineering programs. You can probably transfer into a bunch of these schools coming from a CC in NY.</p>
<p>Albany, University at No Yes No
Binghamton University No Yes No
Buffalo State College No Yes No
Buffalo, University at No Yes No
Cortland, State University College at No Yes No
Delhi, College of Technology at No Yes No
Environmental Science and Forestry, College of No Yes No
Farmingdale State College No Yes No
Fredonia, State University College at No Yes No
Geneseo, State University College at No Yes No
Maritime College No Yes No
New Paltz, State University College at No Yes No
Old Westbury, State University College at No Yes No
Oneonta, State University College at No Yes No
Oswego, State University College at No Yes No
Plattsburgh, State University College at No Yes No
Potsdam, State University College at No Yes No
SUNYIT No Yes No
Stony Brook University No Yes No</p>
<p>Are you sure you want to do that? Wouldn’t your gpa become even lower?</p>
<p>Bump! Just b/c my gpa in CC is low doesn’t necessarily mean I’ll do bad in 4 year institution.</p>
<p>Yeah but because it is low means there aren’t many 4-year institution that will even consider you. You may have to really think about your definition of good and about what you would be willing to settle for.</p>
<p>Since you are in EE, it will be hard to get into a really good school because EE is one of those engineering majors that usually has some limit of accepted students per year (or semester). You have to think that a 2.68 GPA at one of those universities would be admitted before a transfer…if they are admitted at all.</p>
<p>You may want to look at schools that has a general engineering major/degree or even your current major of engineering science (which can be interdisciplinary) and work your way from there…making sure you at least take the minimum EE courses for graduate school. I am mentioning graduate school because of your GPA, your “good 4-year school” options will be limited and you may have to get an M.S. to overcome that.</p>
<p>THIS IS ASSUMING THAT YOU CAN RAISE THAT GPA TO A 3.0 come graduation.</p>
<p>Yea Im currently retaking those classes that I dropped out of due to medical illness. Those are the classes that have contributed to my low GPA. However, at the end of this semester I’ll be close to 3.0 if not slightly above. </p>
<p>On the other note, I’ll be changing my major to Mechanical Engineering at the end of this semester. </p>
<p>boneh3ad, by good I mean a institution whose ratings is in top 60 in engineering category.</p>
<p>Try contacting the schools you’re interested in and asking if they’d still review your application. I think Admissions offices might be compelled to make exceptions if you did something productive when you weren’t studying too hard, heh…you know they’ll think that. I imagine they’d make exceptions if you hail from a notorious university, but hey, it doesn’t hurt to try </p>
<p>Sent from my DROID2 using CC App</p>
<p>I applied to Penn State and UMass. Hopefully they do make exception for me 
BTW, does anyone know how their Mechanical Engineering program is? I heard Penn State is HUGE?</p>
<p>Where is your present domicile? Your home state institution(s) may be more willing to consider a below 3.0 GPA engineering transfer than public universities in other states. Also, take heart to GlobalTraveler’s advice. A Bachelor’s in Engineering Technology from a less competitive (but not necesarily less rigorous) college could lead you to a M.S. program at a strong school. For example New York City College of Technology is not a powerhouse, but it has a very good undergraduate robotics program, from which graduates have won admission to M.S. programs at Worcester Polytechnic Insitute, for example.</p>

<p>If you’re doing well this semester, and you can raise your GPA to a 3.0 or better, you should be able to get in somewhere. My advise is that you not be overly obsessed with school ranking, and instead, aim for colleges you know you’ll be happy at. If you like Penn State, UMass, and NYU Poly and you can convince them to admit you, they by all means, go for it.</p>
<p>Have you finished, or are you going to finish, ALL of your lower-division coursework at your community college? Your odds of transfer acceptance would be a lot better at any school, plus you’ll save a ton of money.</p>
