<p>Right now I am at a community college in South Florida and will be applying to Lehigh as a fall transfer for 2009.</p>
<p>High school:</p>
<p>SAT: 1270/1600 and 1880/2400</p>
<p>AP & Honors: Didn't take AP's but took a lot of Honors</p>
<p>GPA: 3.95 weighted, 3.3 unweighted</p>
<p>ECs: Wrestled 3 seasons</p>
<p>Job/Work Experience: 3 summers as a camp counselor, one at a pool store, one with an advertising agency, and one with a restaurant</p>
<p>Community College:</p>
<p>I'm in the CC's Honors program. Also the VP of the Honors Student Committee which is the core club and figurehead of Honors program.</p>
<p>SAT: Should I retake it? I might be able to find somewhere in Spain to take it or take it as soon as I get back, probably in January of 2009.</p>
<p>GPA: After 29 credits I have a 3.89. I am expecting to have over a 3.9 after 40 credits at the end of this summer.</p>
<p>Essays: Not sure if transfers are required to have essays but I have good topics and would polish them nicely</p>
<p>Teacher Recs: above average</p>
<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>
<p>First generation in college</p>
<p>Gender: M</p>
<p>I'll be applying as an industrial engineering major.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if there's a place for this in an essay or application, or if Lehigh cares about this sort of thing, but I won a scholarship at my school which pays for an entire semester of study abroad. I'll be spending this fall in Seville, Spain but the downside is that there is no math, physics, or science there. The upside is obvious because of the incredible growing experience.</p>
<p>Also, another thing that I have going for me that Lehigh might care about: I had planned on joining the Marine Corps out of high school but lost my left kidney a couple of months before leaving for boot camp. I faced that adversity and since then, my grades and dedication towards school have increased as shown by my GPA and involvement in school, showing the upward trend. This could be an essay topic.</p>
