I’m a sophomore studying communications at American U who’s considering transferring to Tulane, Syracuse, UMiami (FL), and Lehigh for spring of 2019 and if I don’t get into any of my choices then i’d reapply for fall of 2019. I am wondering what my chances are like.
I got a 32 on my ACT. I had a 3.2 unweighted GPA in High School at a top 3 high school in Florida with a 4.23 weighted GPA on a 6.0 scale (AP and IB classes go up to 6.0, honors goes up to 5.0 and regular level classes go up to 4.0). I took 5 AP classes and all honors except for 2 classes in all of high school. My high school also had a fantastic relationship with the U of Miami (that may help me).
Unfortunately, I only got a 2.6 GPA my first year in college. I got about a 2.4 first semester and around a 2.8 the next. A diagnosed anxiety disorder has hurt my ability to concentrate and strive in school like I was once better at. I am involved with 2 clubs (sports broadcasting and latin american club) as well as being on a club sport team. Fortunately, I am better off this year than i was last year and will probably end up with a 3.0-3.5 GPA this semester, it remains to be seen.
Overall, American U was not the right fit from me as it did not cater to my interests and if you guys don’t like my chances for the schools i mentioned then I’d like to hear recommendations. Thanks.
