<p>Currently I'm in my second semester at Indiana University and thinking about applying to Stern in the fall and was just wondering what my chances are.</p>
<p>*3.869 GPA last semester and should have at least that this semester
*I have (and still will have after this semester) a 4.0 in all my business classes taken so far, 5 total
*In the Honors college at Indiana University
*Had a 3.6 GPA in high school
*26 ACT score</p>
<p>You could give it a shot, but your HS stats and ACT score will still play a pretty big role in the process and will ultimately hold you back. Have you been taking the Stern required courses? I don't think they expect freshman applicants to have all of them completed, but do want to see some progress. </p>
<p>I would try now and then next year if you don't get in immediately. You'll show continued interest.</p>
<p>I will have completed all of the required courses after this semester and I should have been more specific I will be applying this upcoming fall for admission for my junior year, (fall 2008 admission).</p>
<p>oh then I think you've got a great shot. your HS stats/ACT will be somewhat irrelevant and you have the required courses, which they really like to see.</p>
<p>Given that your GPA is basically a 3.9 over a decent period of time and you've completed the classes they want, I think you'll probably get in. The acceptance rate for transfers at Stern is usually around 28%, by the way. Good luck!</p>
<p>they don't care about SAT/ACT once you pass your two semesters in college.</p>
<p>is that the same for all colleges? do they stop caring about any/all hs stats after two semesters (1 year) ? one can go through the admission process again based on college stats?</p>
<p>I mean, they'll still look at your hs stats... but obviously, if you're pulling a 4.0 at a decent college, your 3.0 hs gpa won't matter very much because you've already proved you can do college-level work.</p>

<p>This does not necessarily apply to every college for transfer students. However, the general consensus is that after a certain amount of college work (1 year or so) the grades and performance you recieve and put out will overshadow previous high school performance and standardized tests to a respectable degree. That in mind, I think mjsfin10 has a competitive application.</p>
<p>It's not that they don't care what you did in h/s. It's that the further you are into college, the less important your h/s stats are. If you're a sophomore when you're applying to transfer, you'd have a better chance of h/s stats not coming into play, than you would if you were a freshman applying to transfer.</p>
