Transferring to UGA...what does that mean for my GPA?

<p>Where are you thinking of transferring to? And actually, it probably doesn’t matter. Your GPA at UGA will be first and foremost in the school’s consideration. Besides, even if they did consider JE, they would realize how dramatically you’ve improved, and your effort will be looked upon quite well. But normally efforts before full enrollment in college are not really considered in transfer admissions. Lots of places nearly turn a blind eye to SAT scores for that matter. If you’ve proved yourself in college, then you are set. Good luck. Just please tell me you aren’t transferring to Duke or one of those insane Ivies/top schools. They don’t really take transfers despite what they tell people. You’d need a really compelling reason to even be considered, like saying that you’d like to work with a particular faculty member or something. These schools would just be happy to add you to the number of applicants so that they get a better rank. Then, the fin. aid won’t be as good at places like Duke. A fair amount of schools between 10 and 25 do take transfers though (in fact, I know we are targeting them, so the transfer admit rate should increase).</p>
