<p>Hi Everyone,</p>
<p>I recently graduated from Community College (June 2010) with a 3.93 GPA and decided that it was in my best interest to take a gap year before applying to transfer schools come January and February. So far, it has easily been the best decision I've ever made. I'm working two jobs and participating in as many volunteer and internship opportunities as possible. However, I am eagerly awaiting attending school in the fall again.</p>
<p>My dream school is Brown, however I do realize that I have a slim to none chance of getting in.</p>
