<p>Hey, how is it going guys? I came across this site yesterday, very pleased with it so far. Quick question:</p>
<p>I am currenty attending a CC and plan on applying end of fall 05 to universities for Summer 06. Unfortunately I screwed around my 1st year so my GPA is like 2.0 currently. Most universities it seems like have a minimum gpa of 2.5 to get accepted. I have done some calculation and it seems like if I do as well as I planned with 4 classes in the fall I can get 2.4 if I get A's. Now if I add 1 more class and get A's in all 5 then I can get a 2.5. Now is it worth taking this chance in your opinion? I guess my main question is Eventhough alot of universities state one must have a minimum of 2.5 to transfer, do they strictly follow that? Or can they be pretty lenient if you are close enough? </p>
<p>Thanks for your time.</p>
<p>I would be concerned even if you manage to satisfy the minimum GPA. If they say 2.5 is the minimum, it's the minimum. Most will have higher GPAs than that.</p>
<p>As most colleges say, while they do typically have minimums, most competitive candidates have much higher GPAs. Hang around a little longer and pull it up above a 3.0 to have a real shot. Also look into guaranteed admissions programs with state schools.</p>
<p>Cool. Thanks for the help guys.</p>
<p>My two main choices are Texas A&M and University of Houston</p>
<p>I live in College Station thats why A&M would be easier.</p>
<p>But I really like U of H. I need to visit the campus. Also another good thing about U of H is the minimum they require is 2.0 if above 30 hours. While A&M is 2.5.</p>
<p>With geting into UH and Texas A&M. I ,on the other hand, am applying to Stanford, Yale, and Brown. So far, I've completed my application essays and statement questions. The only disappointment is that my GPA is a 3.5+ with 57 credits completed because I was hoping to complete my CC with a 3.75 GPA. But I'll see what happens. If I can get into ONE of my top choices, I'll go without question. This is my hope. This is my dream.</p>
<p>good luck redlinekid2...you can do it!!! I myself will be transferring this fall</p>
