I haven't been able to find class profiles for AU's business school so I'm not sure of how competitive it might be to get in to their business undergrad program as a transfer.

Caucasian Male from NV.
School: 2 year Comm. College
GPA: 3.9 with 104 semester credits (A's in all business prereqs)
SAt/ACT: Never took, older non-trad student, also only a GED.

EC's:
Student Body President
Lobbyist for higher-ed system
US Senate Internship
US Senate campaign Internship
6 years work experience in IT & Mortgage Banking

Major:
Finance

Anyone know if I have a chance or I should add some more safeties in case? I'm worried about my lack of test scores and high school grades.

Don't worry about the SAT/ACT as sending in scores is now optional. I think being a male from Nevada is a big plus since most of the student body is from the east coast and 60% of the student populaion is female. Your ECs are very good and appropriate for a school in Washington, DC.

I think you're in.

Geographic diversity is indeed considered, but Admissions does not give males more weight than females.

And you won't need test scores or even a highschool transcript with so many college credits.

know what the average gpa for transfer admits to business tends to be?

dingledan

No, but I know that 3.9 is above it. You should really be asking such questions of the Transfer Admissions counselors; they're quite helpful.

You clearly fall under the "nontraditional student" category. Your college grades will be given far more weight than your hs grades and your work experience and ecs are a big plus. I think you are in! But, of course, having a safety is always advisable.
