<p>Hey guys so I'm in a really really bad situation. I'm currently in CUNY city tech and my major is computer information systems. I just finished my first term and got a 3.4 GPA. What will be my chances of getting into Buffalo as a transfer? My high school GPA was only a 81 and SAT scores only reached about 1000(CR+M). I did take courses at or above my level in high school such as calculus (non-AP) but I didn't take it so far for my first term of college. I really want to transfer in for the Fall '14 semester and now I'm really skeptical :(</p>
<p>I think you will be perfectly fine. I am a transfer student and will begin this upcoming semester and if I got in I’m sure you will too.</p>
<p>My high school GPA was 82-83. I took college courses during H.S. and did well (only one was AP but I didn’t do too well in that one anyway). My reading and math SAT scores combined I’m sure equaled less than what you have.</p>
<p>But UB never asked for my SAT scores or high school GPA. All they want to see is your performance in college. Since you are already in college, I’m sure it’s not important.</p>
<p>With a 3.4 GPA I wouldn’t worry, since it is recommended you have at least a 2.5 for a transfer student (I got in with a 3.0). If you did well in calculus during high school (and even received college credits) that will also help a lot.</p>
<p>Just make sure you apply as soon as possible and meet the deadlines. Good luck! :-)</p>
<p>did you apply after your first term of college or after your first year? I have to submit my crappy SAT and high school transcript cuz i only completed one term of college lol</p>
<p>bump</p>
<p>My daughter transferred into UB after a full 2 years at another SUNY. She had to submit her official high school transcript and SATs - all transfer students do as they help the admissions team to make a decision. She had a stellar high school record but her college gpa was below the recommendation because of a bad choice in majors. Chances are her HS numbers made the difference. In your case, your college numbers will help because you have shown an increased responsibility in your academics but those numbers will mean more if you have a full year. Also - it makes a difference if you’re trying to transfer into a competitive program like engineering. Keep in mind, too - One third of all UB admits for any given year are transfers…</p>
<p>I graduated from a 2-year SUNY and didn’t have to provide any high school info (transcript, SATs, ACTs) to transfer to UB. I think you might still have to send in your high school info, because of the low number of credit hours you’ve completed, but if you do reasonably well at CUNY, I see no reason UB wouldn’t accept you. Worst case scenario, stick it out at CUNY and do well while you accumulate credit hours until you no longer are asked to provide high school information.</p>
