<p>I am a transfer student</p>
<p>-right now my cumulative GPA is 2.73
and i think i can raise it up to 2.80 before transferring
-i want to major in mechanical engineering</p>
<p>-i dont want to take SAT
-i don't mind the tuition fees.</p>
<p>inquiry:
-the school must have a good ranking
-the school must be in a urban or suburban area</p>
<p>----please help me----</p>
<p>Most (all except SAT optional?) schools will require the ACT or SAT, even for transfers.</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>Is that true? I thought if you have 60 credits, many schools don’t require SAT/ACT. </p>
<p>but, I could be wrong. (it seems odd to have 20 year old (or older!) take an SAT/ACT after 2 years of college.) I haven’t seen many older students taking SATs.</p>
<p>I just “spot checked” a few schools, including UMich, and you don’t need an ACT/SAT if you didn’t take it in high school and you have 60 credits (some schools require less credits)</p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>I just couldn’t imagine schools requiring 20 year olds - or older people - to be taking ACT or SATs. :)</p>
<p>60 hours is basically 1/2 way through the degree process. For some reason I assumed the OP was transferring before that.</p>
<p>OP, will you have 60 hours of classes?</p>
<p>Getting into a school with a good ranking?</p>
<p>Define good ranking?</p>
<p>i mean that school at least have ranking.even it has rank 110.but still got ranking right?
<p>u guys clear right?
so, please help me.
i hope when i apply into that university, i would be admitted.</p>
<p>Try Ohio State. Generally, 2.5 is their transfer cut-off.</p>
<p>Also, the University of Cincinnati, University of Dayton, Stevens, Kettering, IUPUI, U Minnesota-Twin Cities, U Iowa, Mich. State, U Deleware, Drexel, Clemson, Texas A&M, Cal Poly SLO, NYU-POLY, U Wash., FSU, U Toronto, and Creighton all have very reputable programs.</p>
<p>I went cross-country with my suggestions since you didn’t specify a location.</p>
<p>Since you’ll be applying now, your current GPA is what will count. The school isn’t going to accept you based on what your GPA might be in June.</p>
<p>How many credits do you have?</p>
<p>Auburn University might accept you (ranked within the top 100) </p>
<p>Very good engineering programs.</p>
<p>Is English your first language? Will you need to take TOEFL?</p>
<p>to OHKID:</p>
<p>r u serious about stevens? 2.70 to 2.80 will get accepted?</p>
<p>to mom2collegekids:</p>
<p>now,my credit hour right now is 34
and before transfering, i think it would be 41
and i’ve already take the TOEFL test.</p>
<p>Auburn University?
really?
i will make some research about it.
thnx :D</p>

<p>Good luck…</p>
<p>But can I make a friendly suggestion? Try to improve your English a bit. 
It may be hurting your GPA. I’d hate to see you not succeed as well as you could over a language barrier. I believe that Auburn (as well as other schools) offer intensive help for those who English is not their first language.</p>
<p>Again, best to you. :)</p>
<p>ok. thnx.
i’ll work hard to improve my english. :D</p>
<p>oh no.
Auburn University requires SAT.</p>
<p>Can you show me the link for the requirement?</p>
<p>I looked on the site, yet I don’t see that req’t for transfers.
<a href=“http://www.auburn.edu/admissions/apply/requirements.html[/url]”>http://www.auburn.edu/admissions/apply/requirements.html</a></p>
<p>Auburn Transfer Requirements
A minimum 2.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale on all college work attempted and eligibility to re-enter the institution last attended are required for transfer admission. Transfer applicants who were not eligible for admission to Auburn upon graduation from high school must present a minimum of one year’s work (30 semester hours). All transfer students who have attempted one year’s work must have earned a cumulative 2.5 grade point average in at least 30 credit hours of standard academic courses as required in Auburn University’s Liberal Education Program (core curriculum). These 30 hours must include at least three quarter hours in each of the following areas:
English (college-level composition or literature)
History
Mathematics (Pre-Cal or higher)
Natural science with a laboratory
Entrance examinations may be required of applicants requesting transfer from colleges with which the University has had little or no experience.</p>
<p>Some academic departments have additional transfer requirements. The College of Engineering limits enrollment of students to its various curricula. The criteria include an overall grade point average of 2.5 and the completion of the first mathematics course listed in the chosen curriculum with a grade of C or better. Transfer applicants to the Building Science program in the College of Architecture, Design and Construction must have a minimum 2.8 grade point average. The Interior Design program in the College of Human Sciences requires an additional application for admission into the program.</p>
<p>The amount of transfer credit and advanced standing allowed will be determined by the appropriate dean and the registrar. The dean will determine acceptance of D grades. Credit in freshman English is allowed only on grades of C or better. The maximum credit allowed for work completed in a junior or community college will not exceed the number of hours required in the first two years of the student’s curriculum at Auburn.</p>
<p>Students transferring from unaccredited institutions or programs may be granted provisional credit. When such credit is allowed, the final amount of credit will be determined upon completion by the student of one year of course work at Auburn University. If a C average is not achieved, the amount of credit will be reduced in proportion to the number of hours in which the student fails to earn a C average or better.</p>
<p>All questions about admission requirements for freshmen or transfers should be referred to the Office of Undergraduate Recruiting at (334)844-6425 (out-of-state) or 1-800-AUBURN9 (in-state) or <a href=“mailto:admissions@auburn.edu”>admissions@auburn.edu</a></p>
<p>Where do I send my transcripts, test scores and other documents?</p>
<p>All application materials should be sent to:</p>

<p>owh.i forgot to tell u…

<p>here’s the link.

<p>so any other suggestions ?</p>
<p>I’m still not certain that an Int’l **transfer **student has to take the SAT or ACT. That webpage in ambiguous. The part that talks about ACT/SAT looks like its for incoming freshmen. But, I could be mistaken.</p>
<p>I would contact them tomorrow and ask.</p>
<p>ok.btw thnx for your help.</p>
<p>Clemson is not in an urban or suburban area so I wouldn’t suggest it for you</p>
<p>owh ok.
any other suggestion?</p>
<p>This is the admissions advisor for transfer students at Auburn
<a href=“mailto:john.burgess@auburn.edu”>john.burgess@auburn.edu</a></p>
<p>I would send him an email stating how many credits that you currently have and how many you should have by the end of the year, and ask if you’ll need a SAT or ACT.</p>
<p>You’re currently at an American CC right? Mention that, too. Also mention that you’re an Int’l student. </p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
