<p>I am transferring ‘down’ from top 25 into Tier II school due to personal problems.</p>
<p>In the meantime, I have taken 3 courses at a state uni.
For midterm grades, I have an B+,C/B-, and D.</p>
<p>Two of my siblings attended the lower tier school to which I am applying. I also have a close relationship with the dean of minority affaits (family friend, advised my siblings).</p>
<p>My interview is tomorrow and im sure the issue of why my state uni. grades are sub-par will come up. I intend to tell the interviewer that I am being proactive about inceasing my grades and that they will be much better by the end of semester.</p>
<p>Can anyone please gve me their opinion on my chances of getting into the school?
Even with the connection, legacy, I cant possibly imagine they would accept me with the midterm grades I have on my non-matric courses.</p>
<p>help!</p>
<p>bump…any reply will help…</p>
<p>If they ask about the grades, your best bet is to be straight with them. Are you making a sincere effort to improve those grades? If not, why not?</p>
<p>Good luck with the interview!</p>
<p>The interview went very well. The questions about my past performance and what happened at my other school were not mentioned.
Out of the 3 courses I am taking at public uni, I have A-, A- and a C+</p>
<p>It’s great to hear that your interview went well!</p>
<p>thanks:) The good part was we discussed alot of my high school record (ISEF/Research)…which added to my credibility</p>
<p>anyone? im a bit nervous</p>
<p>Why are you still bumping this thread? Do you have any other questions?</p>
<p>Sorry. I didnt make myself clear.
I would like some input on my chances for transfer. </p>
<p>Update: Interview went well. I am doing well in my non-matric courses except for Calc II- Currently have a D hoping for a B- finally</p>
