<p>I am hoping to transfer next year as a junior. I will have 59 credits at the end of this semester. The reason why I am not applying now is because I only have a 3.1 GPA (assuming I maintain it this semester). My question is, to my understanding, I need to have 60 by the deadline unless I plan on transferring as a sophmore which I highly doubt will work. Is it possible I could apply anyway? I would have over 60 credits by the end of that semester (spring) and it would obviously show on my final transcript. Or would I be denied instantly because I am a credit shy at the deadline? </p>
<p>One other question is that I know the chances also depend on availablity, but if I am majoring in something that is not highly sought after, would that have any effect on my chances?</p>
<p>Transfer deadlines are for both the application and for all college transcripts. UGA will only review academic work that is completed and sent to our office by the deadline. For example, Fall transfer applicants have a deadline of 4/1, so we can only review work completed and into our office by 4/1. We cannot use work from a Spring term where classes are in progress and will be completed after the deadline. </p>

Must have a 2.80 or higher transfer GPA to be considered for admission, though there is no minimum GPA that guarantees admission. </p>
<p>You would be denied on based on what you’ve posted.</p>
