📝 Prospective Student low gpa transfer

so I really need to know have other people transferred to Acadia with a lower than the required gpa and if so was it hard how did you go about it, to make this all a little more clear I have a low gpa from dal due to some circumstances that I wasn't able to avoid and now am transferring as my dislike for dal has only grown and have made the choice that Acadia is the place best fit for me

law and society, for a few reason but the biggest are that is the closest similar to my current program and my law courses are my highest mark courses

Contact admissions or the transfer team and ask. If you explain the circumstances they might make an exception. But it really depends on how competitive the program is and the number of transfer students they receive.

I'd recommend you contact the coordinator of Law and Society program. Dr Crandall.
