UNC Chapel Hill

<p>The UNC-CH website is a bite confusing. If anyone could shed some light on a few issues for me, I would really appreciate it!</p>

<ul>
<li><p>As a prospective junior transfer, do I need to send HS/transcripts and test scores? (I have never taken the ACT's nor SAT's.)</p></li>
<li><p>Also, is it worth applying given my situation:</p></li>
</ul>

<p>3.55 GPA from a NY Community College; no significant EC's--although I don't know if they even consider them for transfer admissions; I am a philosophy major.</p>

<p>It says on their site that the average GPA for junior transfers is a 3.1. Moreover, it says that the school one is transferring from has absolutely no bearing on their decision. </p>

<p>Any info? What do you guys think--should I apply? Or is it too late?</p>

<p>You stand a decent chance with that gpa. No ECs though? That could hurt you. Definitely worth applying though.</p>

<p>BTW, whatever you do, don't listen to TarHeelBound. <em>he's a bit of an idiot</em></p>

<p>I think your're in</p>

<p>Sorry to take this over.</p>

<p>Can someone chance me? I just submitted my app.</p>

<p>I have a 3.84 GPA at UMiami (Business School- International Finance and Marketing major). However, my cumulative transfer GPA is 3.6 because I transferred from Maryland with a 3.0 GPA. So I guess UNC-CH would consider both GPAs. The 3.84 is from 2 semester (3.74, 3.94), 3.0 was for Fall 2007. Besides academics, I'm pretty involved on campus, so a lot of extracurriculars and hold leadership positions in a few (Co-Vice President of my housing community, Community Service E-board member for few clubs). In hs, I was in the top 15% of my class, 3.7 UW/ 4.2 W, 1220 SATs/ 28 ACTs. Was involved in quite a few in school and out of school extracurriculars. My transfer essay is very strong!</p>

<p>chances please?</p>

<p>from past experience when should we hear our decisions?</p>

<p>you both have pretty decent shots. </p>

<p>decisions, if I remember correctly, go out around mid-april</p>

<p>3.1 GPA for juniors? that can not be right</p>

<p>I'm pretty sure it's correct. It was on the schools website.</p>

<p>yea, on the transfer site average gpa for sophomore transfer was 3.44 and 3.15 for juniors for 2008</p>

<p>sorry to hi-jack the thread but can u guys also chance me</p>

<p>CC: 3.75
4 year: 3.56</p>

Also currently work for America Reads
In my psychology honor society</p>

<p>My hs gpa was 4.3</p>

<p>Damn! I need to consider UNC.</p>

<p>It definitely is not a 3.1 GPA for out of state, maybe in state community college or other North Carolina public schools transfers, but definitely not out of state universities or comm. colleges. </p>

<p>My guess is 3.5 GPA is the average GPA.</p>

<p>No. It's definitely 3.1. Go on the website! It explicitly says the average GPA for junior transfers is 3.1--and that the institute you transfer from is irrelevant. So your claiming the website is inaccurate--not me.</p>

<p>^^^ hes right</p>

<p>For enrolling sophomores, the average college GPA was 3.44 and the average SAT was 1220. For enrolling juniors, the average college GPA was 3.15 and the average SAT was 1136.</p>

<p>UNC</a> : APPLYING FOR ADMISSION : TRANSFER STUDENTS</p>

<p>Actually that stat is misleading. The average gpa really is around a 3.5 but TarHeelBound's 1.3 brought it down :)</p>

<p>AHHAHAHAHA.... OUCHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Hi everyone... I'd really appreciate it if you could say what you think my chances are too!</p>

<p>I am currently a sophomore at UNC Charlotte. I am hoping to transfer to UNC for Fall 09. (I applied last year when I was a freshman, but I was not accepted.)</p>

<p>-Current GPA at UNCC = 3.93 (43 credit hours completed)
-High school GPA = around 3.6ish
-SAT scores = 630 math, 700 reading</p>

<p>I had an internship with an online magazine from May-August. I was then promoted to a writer position. As of January I was promoted to an editor position. I also worked for a couple months on the staff for the UNCC newspaper. I am hoping these things make me look accomplished!</p>

<p>What do you guys think my chances are? Thanks!</p>

<p>I would say you have a solid chance of getting in! Better than me anyway! Good luck! I'm transferring from UNC Charlotte too!</p>

<p>jesus, I knew UNC was much easier to get into as a transfer but 3.1? That's ridiculous. Then again I've met some pretty dumb transfers here...</p>

<p>I agree that the 3.1 is most likely for in-state students. I am trying to transfer from NC State with a 3.34 and was waitlisted my sophomore year so hopefully the third time will be the one!<br>
I don't think there is an exact number or science to getting into UNC, I think every person is different and everyone has different qualities about them.</p>

<p>"I agree that the 3.1 is most likely for in-state students."</p>

<p>lol what is wrong with you guys? accept the fact and stop trying to read what's not there!</p>
