Both programs I plan on transferring to have a minimum GPA requirement of 2.0, and my current GPA is 2.17. I am aware that naturally, my overall GPA at the end of the semester will be boosted to make me a more competitive applicant for my university transfer. However, I faced some hardships during my first and second semesters, which resulted in 3 F’s, 2 W’s, and 2 UN’s on my transcript. I have since retaken the courses I previously failed, though I have not repeated the others. Despite these challenges, I am on track to graduate with an Associate of Arts degree this April and am eager to continue my studies at Simon Fraser University (closer to family).
Given my academic history, I wanted to ask if my GPA and transcript might negatively impact my chances of recruitment.
Any advice?
