Possible transfer student

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>Currently I am a student at Purdue University with an engineering major. I took the normal classed involved with the Freshman Engineering program (very rigorous), but did not end with a very high GPA. Quite frankly, it’s quite low - 2.7. I have decided to not do engineering anymore because once I have stepped into the actual engineering classes (non gen-eds), I have not enjoyed them. My next best bet was Computer Science and I know that UMD has a very good CS program. I was wondering my chances of getting into the school as a transfer - both in the spring and fall.</p>

<p>GPA: 2.7 (‘A’ in freshman English)</p>

<p>EC’s: Vice President of fraternity with 60 members
Philanthropy chairman of fraternity
Secretary of fraternity
Hillel Student Board</p>

<p>Legacy: Yes</p>

<p>In state: Yes</p>

<p>I appreciate all of your help!</p>

<p>I would also like to note that I have an upward trend, 2.5 first semester to a 2.9 second semester.</p>

<p>It’s lower than a 3… upward trend or not… your chances are low…</p>

<p>What were your HS grades like?</p>
