pittsburgh: I am a second semester freshmen in college and applied as a transfer to the University of Pittsburgh for next fall. I got a 3.8 GPA my first semester in college, but i only had around a 3.0 GPA in high school. I got a 25 on my ACTs without the writing. The admissions office wants to see my grades after i am finished this semester. Is this bad? Do i have any chance of getting in? Would i be accepted/declined after this semester ends or before?|||It can depend on where you acquired the 3.8 GPA. The more impressive the school, the more impressive the GPA. I wouldn't worry about your high school GPA since you're already a freshman in college. And admissions will always want to see your grades for the end of the semester just to make sure you didn't slack off badly at the end. If anything, that's probably a good sign, because if they weren't interested in you to begin with they probably wouldn't care what your grades were at the end of the semester. I don't know when you'd be accepted/declined as a transfer. As a senior in high school, I got accepted after 4-6 months i think. I'm sure you have a fairly decent chance of getting in.
