Can i transfer to UC Irvine with a low gpa?
If you are below the minimum requirement you will not be accepted. Students who are slightly above the minimum are turned away due to lack of space. It is my recollection that the Riverside and Merced campuses have lower minima. They are also probably less competitive for transfer admission, just as they are for undergraduate admission. You can probably find all sorts of interesting details at http://collegesearch.collegeboard.com. Put in the name of the campus and click on enter. When you get to the main page of the campus read its info and then click on admissions for transfer details.
Extremely low gpa in community college, but hoping to transfer. No point?
The details: this is my 2nd year at community college, I've complete 19 out of 35 attempted units, received 4 Fs and 2 Ds up until now; my overall gpa is a 1.57. I know I've dug the deepest hole for myself; however, now I've been working to get myself out of it. It's not that I don't understand my work, I've just had some personal issues these past two years. The first being, during my freshman year, I had no idea what I was even doing with my schedule; to add to that, with not applying myself due to lack of materials and poor time management, that's a sure-fire way towards failure. I know I have the capacity to be a great student, this fall semester, I was on track to getting a B in my communications class; however, I didn't do one of the assignments which pushed me down to a D. Same with my poli-sci class; I was doing great on my essays, yet when it came to assignment due dates, I would have the wrong dates in mind, thus not having the assignments completed by the right time, which ultimately caused me to fail that class (It was an online class, I've learned that they aren't for me). And biology just killed me, ended up failing... I now have the discipline and time management skills to complete my work on time and study to receive As in my winter classes. But, that would only raise my gpa to a 2.1. I plan on doing an academic renewal on two of my other failing classes so they aren't factored into my gpa, but that still would only help my gpa by a bit. As a student that's wanting to be college bound in sports, and one that shows a definite positive trend in their grades from now on, with a personable personal essay to top it off; would it be hopeless to think that universities would look past my transgressions and admit me with such a sub par gpa? The worst thing is, is that my parents have spent all this money on these classes since I'm not eligible for FA, and all I've down is basically throw it away... I'm just becoming stressed and depressed over this dilemma I've put myself in.
I have a horrible gpa and want to transfer?
I slacked off at community college for the first year and failed all my classes! (I WAS A DUMBASS I ******* KNOW!!! Now that I want get a degree, I have been retaking my classes one by one as I am on probation until My gpa hits 2.0. My gpa was almost ZERO!!! I have been working to get it up for a while now and have managed to get it up to 1.7 (Although I know still really low. ) When can I start thinking of applying for universities?
1.89 GPA need to transfer Colleges, what are my options?
I'm currently enrolled at The University Of Rhode Island. I've basically ****** around for 3 1/2 years and it's all caught up to me. I've attempted 64 credits with a 1.89 GPA. Luckily my parents are very supportive and only want to see my graduate at some point. I'm a New York State resident so I'd like to transfer to a SUNY ( New York State Colleges) school so I can stop wracking up debt. After some research I've discovered that my horrid GPA will probably keep me from getting into any SUNY school as a straight transfer. Although I will still try It seems doubtful even with an amazing application to get into any school. It basically boils down to three options. 1) Stay at URI amassing debt, attempt to raise my GPA, and possibly graduate 2 years from now / stay for one year get straight A's and have a 2.3 GPA (5 semesters at URI @ 15K per + summer courses) 2) Go to community college for a year get good grades and transfer (would I be able to transfer credits from URI to a SUNY school after I've taken a year at a CC? Would the school I'd be transferring to reject me based on my GPA at URI even after a year of CC?) 3) (My most preferred option) Transfer to a SUNY school for the upcoming Spring semester and start a new ( What would my odds be of getting into any SUNY school with a 1.89 GPA? Could a great application actually get me into a school even though every school says a 2.0 or more is required?) Any answers or advice would be appreciated.
Does your GPA reset when you transfer from a junior college to a UC?
Just to add to the answers already given. Even though UC will only calculate the grades you earn while studying with them, be sure to do a separate calculation of your GPA that includes your Junior college grades especially if that cumulative GPA is much better than your UC GPA. This is particularly important if you are applying to jobs that require a certain GPA. You may not qualify with your UC GPA alone but qualify when you include your Junior college GPA.Hope this helps.
Do you need SAT/ACT Scores for transferring colleges?
Im a senior in high school and Im planning on going two years to a community college since my GPA for all 4 years aren't up to par then transferring to a university for the last 2 years while attending Army ROTC at that university. Will I need to take the SAT & ACT for future reference when I transfer to the university of my choice? My counselor told me that you don't need it for CC and the university looks mostly at what you have completed at the CC rather than the SAT/ACT scores...
Is a 3.88 GPA in a community college good enough to transfer to Berkeley, UCLA, or Cornell?
I had a 3.82 and was a poli sci major and in 3 honors societies, an internship in my field and worked. I got rejected from UCLA, but I appealed and I got in. I got very lucky.Appeals: If you go to the UCLA transfer appeal page it practically tells you not to bother. They also tell you that no seats are saved for appeals, so you have to hope they have room and there is about a 1–3% that appeals are successful as they now look at a letter of recommendation and an all new much longer personal statement where your goal is to convince them that a mistake was made by them the first time when they reject you. It is then read by an admissions office and then one more, who never communicate with each other, so it must pass through both of them, then, if there is room, you're in.Department's/Colleges: the College of Letters and Science has the most subjects and majors, so it is by default the most applied to. However, you are applying to a major. So an impacted major (like Poli sci or psych) might hurt your chances more compared to another major in the same college. Since UCLA dropped to the lowest overall acceptance rate among the UCs this last year, as well as the lowest among all public universities, I don't know how they are breaking it up. But, get to know an advisorbor someone in the department you'll be applying to, if possible. You never know what can help.
Graduated in 08ish with a really low GPA (1.7-1.8). Joined Military and grew up, what do i need to do to be accepted into a good school?
There's still hope that you can get into a good university! But first, you should begin school at a community college. As long as you've graduated from high school, you can get into a community college. Then, after working hard for two years to be sure you've fulfilled most (if not all) of the GE requirements for your major, then you can transfer to a university and your high school grades won't matter - no matter how low your GPA might have been. Once you've been in college for two years, universities could care less about high school grades because CC coursework is a better test of your abilities than high school was. Also, once you graduate from a university, only the name of the university is present and in the future, nobody will have to know that you started at a CC. I really hope this helped you out and good luck in your academic pursuits :)
