<p>Do colleges care about your extracurricular activities?
When I apply to my new college, I will only have finished 15 hours of credits. Is this okay? Do my second semester college grades count for anything?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help</p>
<p>EC's: I think there's evidence on both sides of this question. If your EC's are strong, feature them. If EC's (college level) are not a big part of your resume, I think strong GPA,recs and hs record can outweigh them. I know my S was accepted to many places as a transfer, including highly selective, without college-level EC's, really, at all.</p>
<p>15 hours of credits: IDK. check each website?</p>
<p>Second semester grades: Some schools accept you solely based on hs record and one semester. Some will ask for mid-term grade estimates for the second semester (some based on your self-report only, some requiring prof initials). Virtually all will make any acceptance conditional upon satisfactory completion of that second semester and/or completion with no substantial change in the level of your performance.</p>
<p>Thak you very much jmmom.</p>
<p>I was looking through some transfer applications, and most of the schools asked about why you wanted to transfer out of your current school. Would saying that the school that I currently go to is too easy be a valid reason?</p>
<p>Absolutely. Don't "diss" the school, but talk about how it is not a match for the level of academic challenge you want.</p>
