transferring to michigan state

<p>I'm trying to transfer from a community college to michigan state. I actually got accepted to MSU during my senior year of high school but I decided to save money and go to community college for 2 years. I just started my 2nd year and have to start filling out applications within the next few months. The thing is, I did not do as well in college as I did in high school, and my GPA is not very high. THis is why I'm worried about getting accepted again. My GPA right now is a 2.9..so I'm facing a dilemma. I don't know if I should apply to msu early and hope that they will accept me with my current GPA or would it be better if I waited until this semester ends so I can raise my GPA and apply right before the application deadline? </p>

<p>So basically, if someone could answer these 2 questions it would help me so much!</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is it better to apply early with a 2.9 or wait until right before the deadline with a higher GPA?</p></li>
<li><p>Will the fact that I was already accepted before give me a better chance of being accepted this time?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>
