Chances of transfer?

I was accepted as a transfer for this coming semester and I’ll tell you what I know.

My HS gpa was terrible (3.15) and my SAT was good enough for almost any school (700/680/710). But like they said your HS grades won’t matter too much since you’ve been in college for a year.

My college gpa after I semester was a 4.0, and that’s when I applied. I tried my best to make a good impression on professors, and got 2 recs from the ones who I thought liked me the most. I wrote an essay that, if I do say so myself, was pretty damn amazing. I also turned in my application about 2 months early. It’s also probably noteworthy that I visited the school officially.

I’m transferring from the University of Mississippi, which isn’t exactly prestigious. I don’t know where you’re transferring from, but it definitely wouldn’t hurt to get your gpa up.
