University of Minnesota Twin-Cities

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm transferring from UW-Stout to the University of Minnesota Twin-Cities CLA. I have 34 credits and 3.533 GPA. I am undecided at Stout and I selected Political Science as my major at UM. I am involved on campus, I represent my hall in the Inter Hall Residence Council, and I serve as the chairmen of our Leadership and Events committee. I am also involved with Relay for Life and inter mural sports. I came to stout with 17 AP credits so academically speaking I am a sophomore. The weak components to my transcript are definitely my high school GPA, and my test scores</p>

<p>ACT Science Reasoning 19<br>
ACT Reading 30
ACT Math 19
ACT English 17
ACT Composite 21 </p>

<p>Class RANK/SIZE: 306 / 511
Unweighted GPA 2.8</p>

<p>I realize that UM doesn't place as much weight on these numbers when an applicant has 28+ credits, but will it still hurt my chances, and do I have a chance at being admitted? I was just recently rejected by Florida State University.</p>

<p>Well, let’s see…you’re OOS, which won’t necessarily work to your advantage and in my opinion, I think you getting in is going to be a crapshoot…but it also depends on what school you’re applying to.Which one are you applying to?</p>

<p>I’m applying to the College of Liberal Arts, and when I looked at the college GPA’s of transfer students admitted into the CLA, 40% of the students 3.5 or higher. I’m hoping that they go off my accomplishments in college and not my lack of accomplishments in high school.</p>
