Admission into SFU
 

Hey guys, wondering if anyone knows which faculty has the lowest GPA required to get into SFU... Back story essentially is that I fucked around too much at langara for the past few years and now that i want to transfer into SFU, my GPA might be too low for me to enter. I'm currently sitting at a meager 2.56, with two courses this semester looking to bump me up to 2.65, which is still a bit shy of the 2.7 that is required from me for the two faculties i chose (Sociology and Criminology). I was hoping to jump in on the faculty with the lowest GPA requirement for one semester and then transfer into what i really want. So whats my chances of getting into SFU guys? :badpokerface:

TL;DR

which faculty has the lowest GPA required so i can get into that faculty then jump ship?

According to their site, health science and environment require minimum 2.5 and that's the lowest from all faculties

history and poli sci :troll:

you'll make it 99.9%.

transfer into another program (hsci, enviroment etc.), start taking courses from crim/sociology. work up that gpa => transfer into those faculty. what you mentioned would work, once u get in the faculty, gpa is no longer a concern unless upper level courses.

Why didn't you apply to UBC?

^Assuming he wants to get into a Criminology program which isn't offered at UBC

I was facing the same issue and they said an average is 2.6 - 2.7 but likely under average is accepted as well!

when you say your GPA will be around 2.65 is that taking into account of the .3 deduct from transfering from a College?

Hey guys, first of all thanks for the replies! i think ill be applying for the spring semester going into health science or environment then, since i doubt ill be getting into the fall semester now lol.

@ zoidberg: i wouldnt have minded UBC, but then i failed two courses and it would drag my GPA even lower than 2.56 lol

@grapedrink: i had heard about that, but when i called up to SFU admissions and i asked the nice lady on the phone she said theres nothing like that? :S
