Hi, I’m currently a sophomore at Boston College and have been thinking about transferring out of BC. Even though I did very well in high school with an SAT score above 2200 and a GPA of 3.9, I’ve been doing really poorly at BC with a 2.688 GPA.

I’m pretty certain I want to transfer to Rutgers, where I’d probably start studying communications (I’m an undeclared major and as a result have ‘explored’ by taking science/math courses and doing poorly in them, lol), but I wasn’t sure if I am still likely to get accepted.

My older sister transferred to Rutgers last year, and she got accepted without having to write the essay on her application. It’s probably 99.99% necessary that I write an essay because of my terrible college grades, right? Also, repeating my question from earlier, what is the likelihood that I will get accepted to Rutgers? How can I increase my chances if they aren’t that great?
