Transfer to SFU with lower than transfer GPA

Hello,
I am planning to transfer to SFU from UBC with a rather low GPA of 2.5-ish. However, the admission averages for this year appear to sit at 2.7 at least for pretty much all programs. Is it for certain that I will not get accepted or is it still possible?

    I transferred from kwantlen with a gpa of 2.5, I think it depends on the department. I transferred to statistics, was put on waitlist during the summer, and then later got in. I think you have a better chance of getting in during the summer since less people apply for that semester. I can't say for sure though.

    If the minimum is 2.7 and you only have a 2.5 GPA then your obviously not going to get in unless they lower it......

    You need to hit the minimum or they just tell you to apply next term!

    Why do you have to come to SFU.....I want to go to UBC...dmn~ Give it a shot, you might get in who knows. The admission criteria are so freaking weird and I will never figure out how they work. The cover letter or the reason you want to transfer to SFU might help you.
