i go to boulder and I'm from out of state. I had about a 3.6 gpa and scored a 25 on the ACT. I am in the Arts&Sciences school, it might depend on what you're planning on majoring in. Write a good essay on your application and have average scores/gpa and you'll get in.

I just applied as a transfer with a 2.7 high school GPA and some credits in college (2.85 at 1 school for 2 classes and 3.6 at another for 2 classes) SAT 2000. I haven't heard back yet. hopefully soon cuz i applied for january.

Seems everyone who posted their grades here is in the right league but who knows, applying to schools can be weird

 what they love most is leading people on to believe that CU is a 'ski school' and nabbing that out of state tuition.

the particular school within CU you're applying to will change the situation.  Obviously arts & sciences is easiest, while business and engineering are tougher

I had a 4.0 and a 36 on ACT and I didn't get in. I went and talked to the dean and showed him that I could chug beer and date rape girls and I was in.
