I am a freshman I want to transfer to UMass from Temple, but my GPA wasn’t great this semester because I missed classes due to my health. I want to improve my GPA through my classes next semester, but will my second semester GPA show up on my application to transfer? If not, can I somehow let whoever is reviewing my application know that I was having a hard time keeping up with work this semester due to my health?
I am trying to transfer to umass next year also. I spoke to someone at the school and your first semester gpa will matter more than second semester. I would contact a transfer counselor from the school and ask because your situation is unique.
I’m transferring this fall to umass.
