What is an ideal GPA to have to have a pretty decent chance to get accepted as a Junior transfer after I obtain my A.A?
As a transfer with an AA, the GPA to feel pretty confident that you’ll be accepted is in the 3.0 range, if you’re applying to a non-limited access program (Business & Communications are the main schools that are limited access, but there’s a few others). If it is a limited-access program, I’d aim for a 3.2 or 3.3, but a 3.0 will probably still be fine for the most part; you’ll just want to make sure that the pre-reqs for the major are the classes you have strong grades in.
Generally though a 3.0 and your AA will be good enough to get in.
