<p>Hey so I'm looking to transfer to unc chapel hill next fall, I already sent in the application. I'm currently a student at wake forest. I applied to unc last year but didn't get in, probably in large part because I'm an oos student, though I heard they dont take state residency into account for tranfers. My first semester I got a 3.1 at wake and I have solid extracurriculars and a decent essay. I got 2040 on the sats overall, 1350 for reading/math. Should I expect to get in? What are the chances they don't accept me?</p>
<p>A 3.1 is far too low. UNCCH is a reach.</p>
<p>But wake is typically tougher to get into, state residency aside, so for transferring wouldn’t it make sense that I have a good shot? They look at hs more than college and all B’s at wake is still respectable, unc admission knows that. And I was 5/300 from a good school and my sats score falls into about the 75th percentile for unc. Is it really a stretch?</p>
<p>Because Wake is a pretty prestigious university itself, a 3.1 GPA should carry more weight than a similar GPA from other institutions. </p>
<p>UNC-Chapel Hill admits roughly 40% of transfer applicants. Many of these applicants will be transferring from less competitive schools, but with higher GPAs. After balancing those two factors, it’s hard to say what your chance for admission is. </p>
<p>Based on the assumption that WF’s courses are roughly as rigorous as UNC’s, I would think the admissions office would infer that you could get certainly get a 3.0+ at Chapel Hill (which is quite respectable for such a school). But I’m not sure how the admissions officers go about determining a good candidate.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call it a stretch, but I wouldn’t call you a shoo-in either. You certainly could get in; just hope for the best.</p>
