I’m applying to CALS (AEM) as a transfer student. It’s my second time applying for the transfer. I applied for the spring term but didn’t get in. I’m concerned that my horrible high school GPA (3.4 UW, to make it worse it’s a downward trend) and my bad college GPA (3.45, also a downward trend) might fail me again.
Should I consider applying?

Currently, I am a sophomore at a 4-yr private school (US College Ranking= 40~50). I will list all the courses i have taken and am taking with grades.

Freshman (Fall) - 20 credits

Bio 1 - B
Writing for Freshman - A-
Intro to Management - A
Computer Science - A-
General Psychology - A

(Spring Semester) - 20 credits

Writing 2- C+
Intro to Econ - A

US History B-

I didn’t get in for spring-term transfer admission with above stats.
Then,

Sophomore (Fall) - 19 credits

Finance B
Managerial Econ A
Intro to Literature A
Physics I B+
Public Speaking C

Sophomore (Spring) - 16 credits -this semester

Re-taking Public Speaking
Re-taking Finance
Intro to Diff Equ
Law and Econ

Got 5 on Calculus BC and AB-subscore
Also, 5 on AP stat.

Award: Dean’s list.

Pretty much it, for academic-wise.

EC: Summer Internship - Stock trading Company (Hopefully, this could be a hook. Wrote an essay about this experience)

DO you think I stand a chance for this time? Do you think my downward trend GPA will hurt me?

Please Chance me! Thanks
