<p>Hi, I am currently a freshman at Boston University and I am wanting to transfer to UVA. Fall semester, I came out with a 3.3 (not too wonderful, I know), however, I am very interested in applying to UVA as a transfer for next fall. I was hoping you guys could advise me as to whether I stand a chance. </p>
<p>I am out-of-state
My high school GPA (we used the 12 point scale) was a 10.1, so on the 4 point scale that's about a 3.7
I made a 30 on the ACT
I had awesome essays and a well-rounded resume</p>
<p>At BU, I'm currently on the equestrian team and in a sorority (no idea if that makes a difference). I know UVA will want to see my second semester transcript, but upon admission all they will see is this fall. Do you think I stand a chance? and if y'all could provide any advice or recommendations, that would be wonderful. Should I consider a personal interview?</p>
<p>I dont think you have that good of a chance. Your high school grades dont matter much as a transfer.</p>
<p>Is there anything you would recommend? I know UVA only takes about 500 transfers and 1/3 of them are from in-state community colleges. Will they see my second semester transcript at all upon transferring (let’s say I came out with like a 3.7 or higher this semester)</p>
<p>Considering that UVA decisions go out on May 1, I don’t think they can take final spring grades into consideration. I know they do recommend sending in a mid-term report, which should have been sent in around the end of March but you might still be able to submit it-- I suggest calling them to ask that. I think the only way they consider final spring grades is if you are admitted and then they’ll want to see the final grades to make sure you didn’t have a significant decline.</p>
