<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I am a community college student and I want to transfer to the Medical technology program at umbc.</p>
<p>Right now, I am on my 3rd semester. I am planning to apply for Spring admission.</p>
<p>My first semester I had a 3.23 gpa, then I had a 2.68 (Had a couple of disappointing low B<code>s that turned into C</code>s at the last minute :((((( )
And this semester, i believe I can get a gpa of 3.35-3.5, depending
Also, I took several honors classes that I have gotten A<code>s and B</code>s in...I am also in the Honors program.</p>
<p>So my overall gpa would be in the range of like 3.1-3.25 ishh</p>
<p>My high school gpa was 3.6 and SAT score was 1500
I had a 570 on Math SAT subject test
and 590 on Chemistry SAT subject test</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting accepted to umbc?</p>
<p>I know a 3.5 is generally recommended,, but I have a couple C<code>s and those C</code>s bring down your gpa so bad..:(</p>
<p>Also, I held a job thoughout my freshmen yet at college..Would I be able to indicate my struggles with balancing out school and work in my essay?</p>
<p>Extra curriculars:
Volunteer at hospital for 1 year
Honors Program graduate at community college</p>
<p>Do you think that If I retake my SAT and do really well (1700 or above) that I could possibly have a higher chance of getting in..even with my barely 3.2 gpa?</p>
<p>I was going to apply early decision,,,but since my gpa is so low,, I will wait until I finish my 4th semester to give my self a chance to bring my gpa up. I will also be taking harder courses, so It will give me a chance to prove my self.</p>
<p>Thanks !!!</p>
