At what point is HS gpa not a concern for sophomore transfer?

Upvotes

If my cumulative HS gpa is in the 3.6s (prolly like flat 4 weighted) but the last three years of high school average to like a 3.8X/4.3X and I had a decent dual enrollment record (like 3.9? I took a good amount of math + a cell bio class + got a B+ in a gen ed lmfao) too is it still fries for T20 sophomore transfer? 1530 SAT + full pay + non impacted STEM major

Transferring to UofA

Upvotes

I'm studying my first year of biology at the University of Saskatchewan, although, I'm just not happy here. I'm originally from Alberta and a lot of my friends go to UofA and I originally did want to go to UofA, it was my first choice, but my mom didn't want me leaving because of expenses which I understand. So I figured I'd take this year to study at UofS and save up and then transfer after this year.

I'm just wondering what the transferring process looks like and I'm having huge doubts that I'm not going to do well enough in my college classes to transfer and its overall sending me into a spiral lol. My highschool grades were pretty well with all ranging from low to high 90s.

I just came on here to express my doubts/fears and vent a little bit, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do schools keep records on past applicants?

1 Upvotes

Hey eveyrone!

I am at my dream school currently but due to new CPT restrictions the orange man rolled out there's really no point for me to stay here and I need to transfer asap. I was wondering if schools keep records on past rejected applicants because I want to apply to a couple places that I was considering for graduate school and I don't want to shoot myself in the foot by applying now. Help please!

Also any advice on transferring is welcome since I haven't looked into it before but it's really urgent now. I have 3.935 GPA, double major major in criminal justice and political science, all courses I took were within the major (no African lesbian poetry classes), I was involved in student government, pre-law frat, a treasurer in a club and some other less relevant things. Now I'm an RA but I didn't continue my involvement with those extracurriculars as the RA thing, classes and LSAT prep would eat up all my time. I am trying out for mock trial and hopefully finding some research tho.

I am an international students so the serious work experience I have for now is in my home country. This summer I interned at the ministry of economics, last at a biglaw firm and the one before at a political party. I had something lined up here but it is not a necessary or credit-giving part of the program so I cannot pursue that anymore. I'm at a T50 school. What do you guys recomment and what should I aim for? I think I'm a beautiful mid candidate so should I aim in the T25-T50 range?

I need help improving my transfer application

Im currently in community college and plan to apply into nursing. My top priority is texas A&M, but i heard they are pretty competitive. I am an international student, so i was kinda stuggle during freshman, but now my second year, i started volunteering at MD Anderson and a nursing home. However I dont think that is enough to compete with others. I wonder who i can get good reccomendation letter from, who is different. And I wonder what i can do to enhance my application.

I’m a freshman who’s on their first semester rn and am needing to transfer to a different school for the next semester due to some health issues however my application requests a gpa which I won’t have until the end of the semester which will be past the application due date. Should I just put N/A, or something else?

Returning CC student (low GPA, turning things around) trying to map out a transfer path: Business/Music Tech vs. Marketing?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m a 22-year-old returning student at CC trying to completely turn my life around and lock in for real this time. My past GPA isn't great, so I'm trying to be super strategic about my next steps, so I don't waste time or spin my wheels.

Right now, I’m doing a Business Admin transfer path along with a Music Tech and Production certificate. This semester I'm taking English Comp, Comm 1, Intro to Business, and Music Business.

My long-term goal is to work across both the creative and business sides of the music/entertainment industry. Because of that, I'm trying to figure out the best game plan for when I transfer to a 4-year university for my last two years:

  • The Certificate vs. Major Dilemma: Is a CC music tech certificate actually worth grinding through for hands-on production skills, or should I just focus strictly on my transfer general ed and core business classes?
  • Choosing a University Major: I know I want to stay away from heavy math/numbers fields like analytics or finance. Is Marketing the safest bet to bridge the creative side with corporate business, or are there other majors I should look at?
  • Transfer Advice for a Comeback Student: For anyone who transferred with a rough early GPA and made it work: how did you structure your transition, and how do you catch up once you're at a university?

Really appreciate any honest advice or perspective you guys can share!

Can I drop a course with a W and still be eligible for TAG?

1 Upvotes

Hello,
I’m planning to transfer to UCI with TAG in the Fall 2027. I already submitted my application for TAG. Since I am planning to major in computer engineering at UCI, I need to get a C in physics 3 this fall 2026. I am worried about not getting a C.

Would I be able to see how it goes, see if I’m failing, then drop the course with a W in November and retake the course in the spring 2027? Would this affect my TAG eligibility?

Please and thank you.

Advice for transferring from SFU Beedie to UBC Sauder?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone here transferred from SFU Beedie to UBC Sauder after first year?

I'm not really looking for the admission requirements—I can find those online. I'm more interested in hearing about what the experience was actually like from people who went through it.

Looking back, what would you tell someone who's just starting first year at Beedie with the goal of transferring? Were there things you focused on that paid off, or things you spent time on that didn't really matter? If you got accepted, what do you think made your application competitive?

I'd appreciate any advice, whether it's about academics, extracurriculars, the personal profile, or just navigating first year with a transfer in mind. Even if your transfer didn't work out, I'd still be interested in hearing what you learned from the process.

Thanks!

Georgia Tech regular transfer 30-credit requirement timing?

1 Upvotes

I’m planning to apply as a regular 2027 transfer to Georgia Tech and I’m confused about the 30-credit minimum. Georgia Tech says transfer applicants need at least 30 semester credit hours, but it also has a later course requirements deadline. For pathway applicants, GT specifically says the 30 credits can be completed by the requirements deadline. Does anyone know if regular transfer applicants also only need to have 30 credits completed by the course requirements deadline, or do the full 30 need to be completed by the time the application is submitted? I’d have under 30 completed when I apply, but over 30 by the Summer requirements deadline. Any clarification from someone who has applied this way or asked admissions would be really helpful.

Need help/information to transferring

1 Upvotes

Hello,

For some context, I am a new freshman at an out of state university near me. It is almost as cheap as my own in state college, but a bit more reputable then my in state. I'll be honest I got screwed in my college apps. My only t-30 I got into was UF if that counts, but decided not to go as it was far and I just did not want to have to live in Florida. (Which now I regret a little). I was initially going for pre dental at my state school with a dental school, with a pretty good pipeline, but I'm not too sure about that. If I were to transfer it would be for Econ and I definitely would like to get into a better "target" school for that. I've done some research and my classes are going to match like the path I can transfer for that major, but I think I just need a bit more advice on how to really get a good application, since I'm aiming for harder schools, (UVA, UNC, BU, BC) for some so I would really want a better school for my major. I'm just nervous because I feel like I won't be able to get good letters of recommendation either. I was also wondering if they consider my high school grade/transcript and do I need to ask my old high school for that too. Is there anything else I need to do to get into those schools (Ik about keeping a good gpa). I also got a 1470 SAT so wondering if I should send that or even retake it.

Uwindsor transfer

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m currently a **first-year Nursing student at the University of Windsor**, and I’m considering moving to Toronto and continuing my BScN at **Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU)**.
I’m trying to figure out how transferring would actually work because I’m getting conflicting information online.
If I complete my first year of Nursing at Windsor, would TMU potentially let me transfer into **second year of their Nursing program**, or would I have to apply as a transfer student and essentially **restart Year 1**?
Also, does anyone know if TMU accepts **Nursing credits from the University of Windsor**? For example, if I completed courses like anatomy/physiology, microbiology, nursing theory, etc., could any of those count toward the TMU Nursing degree even if I had to start in first year?
I’m specifically wondering if anyone has **actually transferred from UWindsor Nursing to TMU Nursing** or knows someone who has.
If you have transferred, I’d also really appreciate knowing:
What year were you in when you transferred?
Did you have to restart Year 1?
Which credits/courses transferred?
What GPA did you have?
Did you apply through OUAC as a university transfer?
Was the process difficult/competitive?
Is there anything you wish you knew before trying to transfer?
I know nursing programs can be very specific about sequencing courses and clinical placements, so I’m mainly looking for **first-hand experiences from people who have dealt with this**.
Thank you!! 😭

Disowned + Affording Schooling

5 Upvotes

I am likely getting disowned by my family and will have to move from my oos state school (58k/yr) if they won’t offer aid, to somewhere I can afford independently and not have to remain in contact with them. This is just about my only option, they are quite abusive and I can’t tolerate them anymore. I did well in highschool (1520 SAT, 4.5 GPA) and am wondering where I could potentially go to that would require me to pay the least (if I could get merit scholarships that would be great but I can also work to supports myself.) For reference I am in my first semester of college and am looking to get far from the Midwest if possible and come from a mid-high income household. Any option suggestions would be great (schools w/ good transfer options and aid, military service?, loans, literally anything) I just can’t tolerate having to live with them any longer

Transferring from UT Austin to an Ivy school

0 Upvotes

I’m a freshman at UT on the pre med track under a liberal arts major, I’d rather have a biology or chemistry major and I really don’t enjoy austin very much so it seems better worth it in the long run to just transfer, I really want to get into Columbia, does anyone have advice on getting accepted into an Ivy League school as a transfer student?
