Transferring with a low GPA

Transfer Students
1

Hello!
I’m currently a rising sophomore at UNC chapel hill. My cumulative GPA is horrible (3.19) so the best GPA I could get before next fall transfer session is 3.55. I had serious depression last year (caused by series of incidents, really can’t go into details sorry)

unrealistic: UCB, Cornell, JHU, Brown,
Realistic(still, little chances of getting in): Notre Dame, UCLA

I’m planning to major in architecture and computer science but I’m also considering theater and economics. Just judging from academic perspective, is there any chances I could get into any of them?

Until you have a clear sense of your major and can produce evidence of committment to that goal, there really isn’t any chancing that can be done. The options for a theater major with four solid performance/production experiences, straight A grades in theater classes, and excellent LORs from those theater profs are completely distinct from the options for an architecture major with solid grades and good LORs.
