<p>Right now I am a freshman in college, however, I plan on transferring out for Fall '10. I just finished my first semester and my gpa wasn't too good (2.7), will that hurt my chances or is it understandable to get a lower gpa on your first semester of college? </p>
<p>Also, will my grades for this second semester mean anything if they send out acceptance letters in April? Because my semester ends in May...</p>
<p>Thanks everyone.</p>
<p>Your Gpa is pretty low and could be a problem when submitting your application. I think what would be best is to either wait another semester to bring it above a 3.0 to be more competitive. You could also submit a mid-year report showing your improvements and write in your essay explaining your bad semester. What are your high school stats?</p>
<p>Yeah, same problem here. My GPA is good, but most schools require 30 credits to be considered a transfer. So if you did well in high school, they will look at your high school transcript and ACT/SAT scores.</p>
