transferring from college - rising gpa?


Asked by Brian D
I am currently a student at Central Connecticut State U. My first semester at college I received a 1.5 GPA, and the second one I received a 2.72. I really want to transfer and get to a better school. I am taking a summer class now and just received an A and I plan to get an A on my next summer class (which they informed me factors into your GPA). Say this year I get a a cumulative GPA of around 3.6. Even though my GPA would still be around a 3.0 could I still get into a lot better schools then the one I am in such as Boston University, Bentley, Quinnipiac, Etc. The trend of my GPA's would be increasing drastically over each semester do you think admissions would notice that and like it? What other colleges do you think I could get into with grades like that my SAT's were 610 math and 480 english. Umass? URI? Bryant?

If I were you I wouldn't apply to Boston U, because it is a nationally ranked school and kind of hard to get in. You should have a chance of getting into UMass Boston, Quinnipiac, and Bentley. There are many schools you can get into if get your grades up. You should talk to you counselor
