i heard from some people that albany had a 3.9 average gpa for transfer studnets last year! 😱 is that true? does anyone know what is their real average transfer gpa?

I believe the range is 3.9-4.0

3.9-4.0 for transfer students? i know someone who got in when she was still in the process of applying to a 4 yr u from a community college. do they not take into account that people attending community college might have higher gpa because the classes are not as rigorous as those offered at a 4 yr u (like a UC school)?

They probably don't care which school you went to. Several students were rejected with gpa 3.7-3.85 last year. I think that the gpa for 2007 transfer students would be the same (3.9-4.0). I agree that 3.9-4.0 gpa at community college does not equal 3.9 gpa at University of California. Life is unfair.

Really? I wonder why would they say on the Pharmcas website that average GPA is 3.6, those liars.

My classmate (gpa 3.8) was rejected last year. Take a look at this. 3 students (3.7, 3.7, and 3.76 with BS) were rejected last year.

I guess I would consider not applying then...save $140. but i still don't understand why they would consider a 4.0 at a community college better than a 3.6 from a good U. I believe that anyone having this gpa is capable of getting a 4.0 at a community college. might as well drop this U thing and attend a community college directly from high school and then apply to albany. Thanks for sharing 🙂

The reason was mentionned many times.
They look only at the NUMBERS, not the name of your school.

Again, NEVER NEVER AND EVER apply to Albany, even though your have a 4.0 GPA, unless you are in-state.
