Your application will be based on that 3.25, but remember that Carolina’s application process is based upon a holistic approach, not a strict numbers approach. Therefore, make SURE you write an outstanding essay and see if you can get a professor to write a very good letter of recommendation for you, then you will have done about all you can do.

But remember that essay is Carolina’s way of getting to know you. They want accepting, smart, driven, kind-hearted, well-rounded students to make up their university’s population. Use the essay to show them that is you…

Your 3.25 isn’t going to automatically dismiss you from the chance to attend Carolina just as a 4.0 isn’t going to gain you instant admission. Therefore, if you are going to spend time anywhere, make that essay your first priority! You have a couple months to get it right.

It is not rare at all for Carolina to accept junior transfers within your GPA range, but I’m sure their essays had been well prepared.
