Hey
I’m a freshman at a small LAC in Virginia, and I’d like to transfer to UVA. I am a Virginia resident, so I’d be in-state. I’d want to transfer in either in Spring 2018( as a 2nd semester freshman) or Fall 2018( as a first semester Sophomore) I’m a Classics major? How difficult is it to transfer in? Would I have a better shot trying for the Spring or Fall?
So you’ve been at your school for less than 6 weeks, right? Seems a bit early to be thinking of transferring… Why?
I believe you have missed the deadline for Spring 2018 transfer admission (Oct 1). You have a better chance of being accepted for the Fall anyway.
Is your high school record good enough for admission to UVA? Because you will only have first semester college grades when you apply for transfer for Fall 2018. If you were denied for Fall 2017, there might not be enough new info for a different result.
Have you researched the college website? Most of your questions are answered there.
I transferred in after one year at mason, I got a 3.8 first semester and sent in like a 3.7 for my spring mid term grades. I didn’t do nearly as well in hs, I had like a 3.3 weighted(I did take many aps) and a 2000(old sat). As mentioned it’s too late for spring tranfer, but do well and you have a perfectly good shot at transferring!
How many credits should you say you turned in? I’m taking 17 this semester and 21 the next one. Community college is absolutely a joke right now at least for me. Do you think a 4.0 this semester and a 4.0 mid semester report should be good? I also have a 1320/1600 new SAT and like a 3.2 high school gpa. It’s not the best, but hopefully they can overlook it considering I’m going to be applying with 41 credits of college work including 1 AP score.
Idk if you were asking me or not, but a 4.0 is extremely good. Two semesters of that with a decent sat score (which I think you basically have) you definitely stand a good chance to get in.
Do credits matter as well? I’ll have 38 credits of college work and 3 credits from AP score.
I had 32 college credits when I transferred, 38 is plenty.
Thanks man. How’s UVA going for you?
