Transferring from NOVA to George Mason University

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I graduated form High School in 2004 and went to NOVA. I messed around and did terribly. I got an associates in general studies with 2.3 GPA and then went to Strayer. I did not complete Strayer but my GPA for the classes I took there was 3.0. I finally got tired of working two fulltime jobs and start NOVA again in Spring 2013 for an IT degree. This is my last semester and I have gotten nothing lower than a B for this degree but my previous GPA has screwed me. Anyways I am taking 5 courses this semester and I should have at least 3 A's. </p>

<p>I am filling out my application for George Mason University with a current GPA of 2.72. Do you guys think I might have a chance to be accepted. I know my chances are next to nothing but I don't want to give up. Would admissions at GMU look at my final GPA or would they just deny my application as soon as they see my current GPA. </p>

<p>Any advice at all would be appreciated. I am loosing my mind thinking about this . . . </p>

<p>GMU usually requires a 3.0 to transfer. Maybe if you write a compelling essay and talk to someone in admissions about any extenuating circumstances it would help. Also emphasize any other really interesting things you have done such as jobs or volunteer projects/ community service. The fact that you have an upward trend in grades is a good thing and I do think admissions people look at that. Good luck. </p>
