<p>Hi, I'm going to be an Emory student this fall and I want to keep my options open and transfer to other college if I have a chance to (not saying I'm not satisfied with Emory at all). What level of GPA would I need to obtain in my freshman year to get into Duke safely?</p>
<p>3.8 (10 Chars)</p>
<p>That seems like the safe GPA for all the ivy-league and top 15 universities. Thanks. But doesn’t the fact that Emory University is in top 20 (US News) make it easier to get into Duke than from like a second tier university?</p>
<p>There is no safe transfer GPA, as others have said in many other forums, successful transfers have 3.7/3.8+.</p>
