<p>Since you’re IS I think you’re in, the only problem is I’m assuming you didn’t apply priority, so that will probably decrease you’re chances.</p>

<p>Actually, I did do priority, I guess I should have mentioned that.</p>

4

<p>I hope you get in because I have the same stats and I applied priority :P</p>

<p>Well they will need a mid-year transcript for senior year i believe in feb? but since you applied priority i think you are okay on that… :slight_smile: </p>

<p>I think you have pretty good chances! good luck! :)</p>

<p>as long as you stay above a 3.0 for this semester theres no reason a mid year transcript should mess you up.</p>

<p>I have heard otherwise:</p>

<p>if your a student w/ avg. uw GPA of 3.4 to a 3.7, you will need to explain why GPA well to a 3.0…</p>

<p>I know… I’m stuck in that position, since my current first sem. GPA will be 3.0 to 3.4!</p>

<p>Not your overall cumulative…just your semester grades. ie: you are a 3.4 uw but get a 3.0 1st semester sr yr means your overall will drop to like a 3.37? Of course if your cumulative gpa drops that much its bad.</p>

9

<p>At the rate I am going now, after the first two quarters I will have a little bit over a 3.0 gpa. I can’t imagine this would matter since I did priority and they have had my transcript and stuff since before 1st quarter grades were issued.</p>

<p>Like I said, you get your decision before you even get your mid-term grades. After that though they will ask you for a transcript including the most recent semester. What you have (little over 3.0) is fine. What they don’t want to see is a huge drop to a 2.2 or something after they’ve accepted you. It won’t affect you unless you really fail this year.</p>

<p>how sure are you??</p>
