Transferring to Syracuse after 1 semester

<p>So right now I'm at Onondaga community college, I have 15 credit hours set up so far for this semester and I'm really looking to transfer after a semester here. I originally applied to SU but was denied and coming to OCC was the next best thing I could do to be right near SU and talk to advisors over there face-to-face, and to move away from home. My high school GPA was a 3.2 and I had a 21 ACT and a 1550 SAT. I know that if I don't have 30 credits SU will also look at high school grades.</p>

<p>So my question is, if I want to re-apply to SU at the end of this semester, would getting around a 3.6-4.0 GPA at OCC really push my chances of getting in? My dad was an alum. and i know SU loves their alums for some reason, they mentioned it in my denial letter. I really am looking forward to working hard this semester to go to my top choice school, also a semester at community will save some money compared to all 4 years at SU.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>After one semester of CC, Syracuse will still likely deny you admission. </p>

<p>I’m kind of in the same situation except that I’ve spent 8 semesters here in a CC in California and I’ve got a 3.2GPA(trying to bring it up to 3.3).
I think I have a good body of work in my portfolio. What are my chances to get accepted as a transfer student by SU? And would it help my chances if I flew there to get my portfolio reviewed in-person and interviewed with them? Advice would be greatly appreciated because if I don’t have a chance then I’m gonna cancel my planned visit there this November.</p>

<p>Reposting the same question, OP. Why? You’re not going to get different responses. You are basically going to have to spend a year at community college to get into Syracuse. If you can maintain a 3.4-3.5+, you’re in for sure.</p>

<p>Isabel, you got a pretty good (not going to say great but good) shot at SU! Send in the app for spring transfer and all you can do is wait really. good luck!</p>

<p>Also, I would not recommend flying in, that is a little ridiculous.</p>
