HI guys. So I went to Salisbury University from 2013-2015. My overall GPA was 0.9. The lowest semester GPA being a 0.0. I transferred to Montgomery College after. (2015-2019). I graduate in may. I was on the deans list fall 2016 with a 4.0. I’ve had 5 semester of 4.0’s. I retook some courses that I failed and overall between Montgomery College and Salisbury U, I currently have a 2.74. At Montgomery College I have a 3.2. If I take 4 more classes in spring and get 4 A’s, my GPA would be 2.92 overall and 3.4 at Montgomery college which would allow me to graduate with Honors at Montgomery College. UMD and American both have guaranteed admissions programs if I have an overall 3.0 GPA and I was admitted to the programs. Since the deadline for AU is Feb 15, I want to know if you guys think I will be accepted or not. As for Maryland, the classes I signed up for spring end March 1st but my overall GPA would be 2.92 and not 3. Should I be worried or do you think I have a good shot at getting the guaranteed admissions? As for Harvard, I’m applying because I wanted to aim 1 step higher. My selling point is I went from a 0.0 to a 4.0. I give all the credit to Jesus, he changed my life when I encountered him in my dorm room at Salisbury in 2013 and made me the man I am today. I’d really appreciate your opinion guys.
Thank you
None of us can predict whether or not AU will admit you based on your current GPA. However, the Transfer Advisor at your MC campus almost certainly can. If you aren’t busy tomorrow, pop by there and talk with that person.
Harvard would be a very tough admit for you. The CC transfers who end up there are the kind who have been awarded a Jack Kent Cooke scholarship. Before you spend your money on a Harvard application fee, run your chances of admission there past the Transfer Advisor too.
You are highly unlikely to be admitted to Harvard. Save your money and apply to UMBC or Goucher instead.
