Hi everyone!

I have applied to be a transfer student at VCU for the Fall 2011 Semester! I am most worried about my GPA in all of this. Tell me what you think! And yes I loved Drexel, but I unfortunately have to transfer for financial reasons (total cost of Drexel passed 50K a year…)

Stats -
Black, Female
Residence: Virginia
Current School: Drexel University
Major: Fashion Merchandising

GPA: 2.74 (upward trend since freshman year)
Credits: 104 quarter credit hours (translates into about 69 semester hours)

Extracirricular:
Internship at Michael Kors (received school credit, listed on my transcript)
Fashion PR Intern at Black Frame (NYC)
Vice President of Recruitment for the Panhellenic Council
Drexel University Orientation Leader
Girl Scout Troop Leader
Secretary, Technology Chair for Phi Sigma Sigma Sorority
Drexel Dance Ensemble

Awards:
Drexel University CEO Certificate in Personal Leadership
Featured on Drexel’s admissions website for student leadership

Minimum GPA Required for VCU Transfers: 2.25 minimum, 2.5 recommended

I know my GPA is unsettling, but I was wondering since it 1. is above the recommended and 2. i have real world fashion experience, what are my chances?

Let me know if more info is needed. Thank you!
