University of Pittsburgh Transfer

<p>Hello, I am a first-year community college student looking to transfer in the fall of 2011 to a four-year institution. </p>

<p>I want to major in communications/public relations and so far I have applied to:</p>

<p>University of Miami- accepted
Boston University- accepted
Fordham University- accepted
Northeastern University- denied</p>

<p>Although I would love to go to any of the schools I was accepted to, I did not take money into much consideration, and now it looks like I will not be able to go to any of these.
I would really like to go to University of Pittsburgh (and I can afford it).</p>

<p>I applied, but they asked for my spring grades, and because these grades were not so good, I am wondering what my chances of being accepted are.</p>

<p>high school stats:
3.3gpa
50% of class
31 ACT (from Chicago, didn't take SAT)</p>

<p>college stats:</p>

<p>earned 50 credits one year (on trimesters/terms)
had a 3.56 gpa when I sent in my original transcript</p>

<p>in the spring I was enrolled in 21 hours, but I got a severe case of pneumonia and had to withdraw from 3 classes. That term I got a 2.75, so now my gpa is 3.25.</p>

<p>Do you think when they get my spring grades and see withdraws and a 2.75, that I will be rejected? </p>

<p>I would really like to go there, and it's late June already, so I am starting to panic about where I will be able to go!</p>

<p>What math have you taken?</p>
