Want to transfer to Indiana University...

Transfer Students

<p>ello all,</p>

<p>I am currently enrolled at Southern Illinois University college in Carbondale, IL. The school here is terrible and I really want to transfer. The school is ok but I find that I want to get the Big 10 experience and the more traditional college experience rather than not. </p>

<p>I am a 24 year old hispanic male. I am a high school dropout and have a GED. I now have 48 credits at SIU and a 3.098 GPA. I am studying Sociology and wish to continue my studies at IU. I have steadily brought my grades up since my 2nd semester at SIU where they declined (due to personal reasons). </p>

<p>What would I have to do to transfer to IU? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You will be fine. Sociology isn't a very competitve department at IU. If you have above a 3.0 you're typically admitted. I remember you saying you had an F on your transcript though, maybe it was someone else, but one low grade is cause for concern, I know the admissions committee likes to see A/B performance with a couple C's, and if you do that you will be admitted.</p>

<p>Just talked to them. They said nothing lower than a C in your last semester. It was all As and Bs for me.</p>

<p>Yes that was me.</p>

<p>So the F was first semester, and second semester freshman year was all A's and B's? Besides that F, was first semester all A's and B's?</p>

<p>I think you should be good if it was just first semester freshman year. Especially if this year you can pull off all A's and B's.</p>

<p>First semester of freshman year was good. I got 1 A and 3 Bs.</p>

<p>Second semester was 1 A, 2 Cs, and 1 F.</p>

<p>Third semester was 2 As, 2 Bs. </p>

<p>Fourth Semester was 2 As, 2 Bs. </p>

<p>Fifth semester (summer I only took one class) it was an A.</p>

<p>I think you'll be good. Besides that one F which you probably have a good reason for, your grades are what they want to see.</p>

<p>What about U of Colorado at Boulder? I have been looking at them as my other option. If I dont get into IU for the Fall 2006 semester than I will apply there and see what they say as well as IU for the spring semeters.</p>

<p>I think you could get into CU Boulder as well.</p>
