<p>First semester freshman year can be tough. Your success with that should help a lot. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the insight. My current institution runs on the quarter system, so I still have 2 left before completing the school year (3 sets of finals isn’t so fun). For those of you who think the quarter system is better than the semester system, think again.</p>

<p>Keep up your GPA for the rest of the school year and you should be fine. I got in with a 3.8 as well.</p>

<p>I forgot to mention my hook which is my Assyrian heritage :)</p>

<p>I’m applying as a sophomore transfer from Wake Forest University. </p>

<p>My college gpa is a 3.567. However, my course load wasn’t that rigorous my first semester. </p>

<p>In high school my cumulative gpa was around a 3.75, had five ap’s, and had a 29 on the ACT. I had a decent amount of extracurriculars, but nothing that especially stands out. </p>

<p>What would you say my chances are?</p>

<p>I also have a cousin attending Vanderbilt currently and an aunt who went there.</p>
