Transfer to uconn from colorado state

<p>I'm currently a student at CSU and am considering University of Connecticut as a transfer, however I think I will be very borderline at getting in.</p>

<p>I am a bio major and by spring '10 when I would be transferring there, I should have a 2.8gpa with about 90 credits, 90% of the 100 level prereqs completed (I'd still need physics 2 and calc 2, but chem 1+2, calc1, physics 1, ochem1, bio 1+2 done) so I would be right in the heart of the upper level biology classes. I'd only need to take 9 credits of all university core, mainly being a language which I have not taken. </p>

<p>However, my problem is that I had one pretty bad semester here at CSU, where i more or less failed every class. I've retaken two of them, and have A's in both. However, my CSU gpa still suffers and hangs around a 2.3, however with 3 good semesters and 1 bad one. I went to community college the two years prior to that and have a 3.2gpa there, averaging out to a 2.8 to 2.85. </p>

<p>So, I don't know where this puts me. In one sense, my min gpa matches the requirement to be considered and once I'd transfer I'd be right into the upper level classes, so I think thats a plus. But at the same time, while my cum. gpa is not that bad, I have some spots on there where I had to repeat some classes and still have 2 classes with F's. Without those two F's, my GPA at csu would be closer to a 3.0. </p>

<p>Opinions? I have some good extra-curricular activities that could help a little bit, but nothing amazing. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Anything is possible… try your best to get to 3.0.</p>

<p>Theres no way I can get my GPA higher than a 2.85 by the time my application would be due, Oct 1st. With 80 credits its not so easy to boost your GPA anymore :-/</p>

<p>ok. I have an update.</p>

<p>If I work hard this summer, I can get my associates degree in science from northern virginia community college, graduating from NVCC with a 3.4. However I’d have a 2.4 gpa from CSU, resulting in a combined cum. GPA of 2.92. This would be with 89 credits at the time of next fall, with 102 credits or so by the time I’d be off to where in spring of '10.</p>

<p>Thoughts?</p>

<p>I think you have a good shot transferring in.</p>
