<p>I will be applying as a transfer student. </p>

<p>College #1: 61% acceptance rate. Public state school. Average GPA of transfer students is a 3.0 GPA. If you have at least 15 transferable credits, you don't have to send in your SAT scores, but a high school transcript is required. </p>

<p>College #2: 73% acceptance rate. Private school. If less than 24 transferable credits, need to send in high school transcript and SAT scores.</p>

<p>My high school GPA: 2.3
My SAT score: 770 without the writing section, 1230 with the writing section
My college GPA: My current is a 2.4, but I am taking a summer session class, so depending on my grade, I'll have between a 2.8 and 2.9 GPA
After I finish the summer session class, I will have 18 transferable credits
I am also going to write an essay</p>

<p>I also have a unique attribute. I did my senior year at community college. So I will be starting college with 18 transferable credits. </p>

<p>Which college do I have a better chance getting into?</p>

<p>The stated admit rates of your target schools is irrelevant b/c they aren’t backed by HS or college GPA stats. Your “chances”? Who cares? Apply to both.</p>

<p>As you’ve stated, yours seem to put you at the lower end of both colleges’ accept pool. If I were you, I’d make appointments with each college and speak to people directly – it’s easier to be nice and to take a chance on a live person willing to come into the office to plead his/her case than a random transfer application that comes in with a GPA that traditionally merits rejection. Good luck.</p>

<p>Need to know what school you are in now and to specifically what schools you are applying. Just giving the stats is useless.</p>

<p>College #1 is temple university, and college #2 is chestnut hill college.
I am also applying to kutztown university as my safety school. I’ll be surprised if I don’t get into that school.</p>
