Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm hispanic, and attend the University of Connecticut currently as a pre-pharmacy major. I want to transfer to Boston University as an athletic training/physical therapist major. (They have a dual degree program)</p>

<p>My High School Stats:
3.75 Weighted GPA
Ranked 19 out of 283
No APs, but all Honors.
High Honors throughout every semester of high school.
Graduated a year early (6 semesters instead of 8)
National Honor Society
Volunteered for the Red Cross
Girl Scouts Silver Award
Youth Group Member
Sunday School Teacher
Relay for Life Team Member
I did the Autism Awareness walk for 3 years.
Volunteered at local soup kitchens.
Head Hockey Manager (3 years)
JV Soccer Team Captain (1 year)
I was a sponsor at my church for confirming students
Link Leader (tutors freshman, does orientation, plans events)</p>

<p>I had more, I just can't remember at the moment. Point is, I was very involved.</p>

<p>College Stats:
I'm a freshman in my first semester, so I haven't gotten grades yet but they are most likely going to look like this first semester:
General Chemistry I: A
Calculus: A-
General Biology I: B
Intro to Microeconomics: B+</p>

<p>So my GPA is fairly good this semester, considering my extremely difficult schedule.
Classes for next semester:
General Chemistry II
Physics I
Freshman English
Intro to Psychology</p>

<p>My ACT and SAT scores from high school are pretty pathetic. I'm retaking and am shooting for at least a 28 on the ACTs.</p>

<p>The only bad part of my application is the fact that at the moment I'm on university probation. I have to write a letter about what the incident consisted of... and what happened was my roommate got out of control in our room, the RA's were called, I was sleeping, they woke me up and saw I had been drinking, so i got put on probation. I don't remember anything from that night... at all. It was a scary and traumatic experience. I had to go to the hospital to get tested to see if I got raped. My hall director was not sympathetic at all and put me and my roommate on probation. Although from the experience i can honestly say i have learned a lot of valuable lessons that i think every college freshman should know their first weekend at school. </p>

<p>Anyway, I'm going to detail my incident and explain what good has come out of it.. but i'm not exactly sure if and how bad it will affect my application. They must understand that those types of things happen right?</p>

<p>CHANCE ME!? Please and thank you!</p>

<p>you are applying for fall 2011? spring apps are due 11/01, you won’t have college grades to show them?</p>

<p>are you applying for aid at all?</p>

<p>i’m applying fall 2011</p>

4

<p>bumppp! chance me i’ll chance you back!</p>

5

<p>Spend another year getting good grades (paying lower tuition) and staying out of trouble before you try to transfer.</p>

6

<p>you don’t think she could get in now?</p>

<p>if she puts up a 3.6 or whatever she’s projecting for the year in addition to her good high school record she obviously has the grades.</p>

<p>and if she can explain her being on probation i doubt she will have a problem… if she is applying for need based aid that makes it a little tougher but still.</p>

<p>uconn to BU isn’t quite a lateral transfer but it looks like she’s a good enough student.</p>

<p>i’m applying for aid, but how would that hurt my chances?</p>
