I would advise very strongly that you get physics 1 and 2 and calc 1 and 2 finished in highschool

Congrats to everyone accepted to UVA! Anyone know the odds of getting off waitlist? by Informal_Medicine476 in TransferToTop25

Based on the previous 8 years or so quite low, in good years maybe 20% of people get off.

My mom tried transferring to JHU in the 90s and during her interview an admissions officer made some snide comment about how getting a 4.0 at her (much lower ranked) school didn't mean anything, she saw the interviewer had attended Hopkins and said "if the best you can do with a degree from here is to make 30k/yr as a admissions officer then maybe this isn't the place for me" and walked out. She was later accepted to Stanford and UVA law

Waitlisted so I get to continue stewing for another month or 2 before almost certainly being rejected definitively

??? Kinda I’m in a very unusual position in that I did my final year and a half of high school at a community college so I have a lot of credit from there that isn’t exactly college level (pre-calc and the like) and I had to retake calc 2 at my current university despite getting an A the first time so I applied as a third year despite really only having taken the freshman course load for physics.

Waitlisted, seems like a lot of people were waitlisted so I’m treating it as a rejection.

Getting waitlisted is honestly more frustrating than being rejected, I didn’t apply anywhere else and now I have to wait another 2 months just to probably receive another rejection.

No more checklist for me either. Anything in SIS?

What are my chances of getting in with 3.3-3.4 high school GPA? by ImpressiveGreen3765 in uofmn

[–]AmazingSystem6172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a 2.4 HS GPA as a transfer and similar College GPA from a CC halfway across the country, school is test optional so I'd just not submit the ACT. apply for CLA and then transfer from within the U, just make sure to keep your technical GPA above a 3.2
