What schools do you think I'll get in with this GPA??

Transfer Students
1

<p>I just finished my finals/freshman year today. My cumulative GPA might be a 3.71 or 3.74(-> pretty bad?).
So far,
Summer: 3.67 Fall:3.89 Spring:might be 3.62, if hoping for best
All A or A-, except a B+ in English comp. and a B in org.chem 1.
I am planning to transfer (as an international student transferring from a top 50 East Coast univ.) to Michigan or Wisconsin or Cornell. What are the possibilities of getting into each of these schools?(My EC will be working in a hospital during Summer break)</p>

<p>One more question: I found out that transferred credits will NOT satisfy the 100 credit in A&S requirement at Cornell. Does this mean I have to take at least 100 credits at Cornell after transfer?</p>

<p>i know in highschool a billion people apply with 4.0 unweighted... but i hear all these people now with 3.9 and 3.7s in college, so how hard it is to get a 4.0 in college?</p>

3

<p>screwed. totally screwed. only place u can transfer to is community college. lucky for you they dont even HAVE an admissions process.</p>

<p>3.71 is like the 0.01st percentile.</p>

<p>Anonymous is just joking.</p>

5

<p>OR IS HE? </p>

<p>Admissions are so competitive these days, he's almost right :(</p>

<p>In all seriousness though, you'll be fine.</p>

<p>A 3.7 is very good. 3.7-4.0 is considered top-range.</p>

7

<p>you'll be fine, i had a 3.622 gpa my first semester, and i got into Cornell as a transfer. I was a shoe-in at SUNY buffalo and Binghamton ... i only sent UB my college transcripts and the part I, and i got my acceptance letter to Binghamton before i was able to send in any part II stuff, teacher recs, counselors recs, etc.</p>

<p>Why do you think I can only transfer to community colleges while others say that's not the case?</p>

<p>He was being facetious, don't worry.</p>

10

<p>I was being completely sarcastic, cool. Haha, its so tough to make that clear. You thought I was serious, with ur 3.71 GPA?</p>

11

<p>OMG..I just got my transcript and the cumulative GPA is exactly 3.69.
My Summer sem. GPA = 3.67, Fall = 3.89, and Spring = 3.48
Will this decline in GPA really hurt my admission chances?</p>

<p>Chill man, just know that you'll end up where's best for you. (if you go where u want, great. if you don't, theres more to learn from failure than success.) Just apply and see what happens. Try not to think about it so much.</p>

13

<p>a 3.69 is still quite respectable</p>

<p>I got into vassar with a 3.64 and an S grade</p>

14

<p>And me in to tufts with a 2.9</p>

15

<p>Oh Clay, 4 more days for Brown..............</p>

16

<p>2.9? what school do you go to?</p>

17

<p>UW- Madison</p>

18

<p>ahhhhh, i guess there is hope for me then. im trying to get into usc with a 3.21. if u can get into tufts with a 2.9, then i feel much better :) did u have extenuating circumstances?</p>

19

<p>Actually, I think it was a miracle that I got in. I'm an international student and all that, but I have a lot and by that a lot of ECs plus really useful recommendations and a good essay which explained my poor grades due to me being disinterested with regular academics and raring to take part in practical development which was accented by my internships in a law firm and a financial firm respectively.</p>
