Trying to transfer to U. of Central Florida

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Looking for chances. Right now I'm going to a small, in-state university in PA and am a first semester freshman. I'm anticipating my GPA being in the 2.5-3.0 range due to a crappy start. I'm aiming for Spring 2010, and I should have 36-39 credits by then.</p>

<p>High School GPA: 2.2 (bad)</p>

<p>SAT: 1030/1590
Math: 530 Verbal: 500 Writing: 560</p>

<p>ACT: 26</p>

<p>I'm just trying to figure out what GPA I should aim for to have a decent chance to get in.</p>

2

<p>Aim for a 4.0.</p>

<p>Go to Summer school and make A's</p>

<p>Do some volunteer work, join some organizations.</p>

<p>Take the ACT and SAT again. This time, study and prepare in every way so you'll score higher.</p>

<p>That should help you out a LOT. Good luck!</p>

<p>Why would I take the SAT and ACT again? I was happy with a 26. Plus I'm not in high school anymore.</p>

<p>A good ACT score will help you out a lot, because a 26 isn't very good. Especially with your GPA being around a 2.5 or so. But that's just my opinion, and you can take it with a grain of sand. Where you are right now, I honestly don't think you'll get accepted.</p>

<p>Maybe you should read the thread "this site is ridiculous", because you're coming off as a stuck-up elitist. Who are you to tell me a 26 isn't good? It roughly translates to a 1200 SAT score, which is pretty good. Not everyone can get 1450 SAT and 34 ACT. We're not all perfect like you.</p>

<p>Get a clue.</p>

<p>Not only that, but I still have 2 semesters before Spring 2010 to raise my GPA.</p>

<p>Stay out of my thread until you grow up.</p>

<p>There's absolutely nothing wrong with a 26. Plus at that point I don't think you even have to submit your high school grades or test scores, although it does depend on the school. Regardless, you won't need a 4.0 to get into UCF. I'm not too familiar with the school, but I would bet like a 3.2 or 3.3 and above would be pretty good.</p>

<p>Bump. Also considering the following schools:</p>

<p>UCF
USF
UMD-College Park</p>

<p>Bump...</p>

<p>Again, Central Florida is the main target, with South Florida and UMD-College Park right behind it.</p>
