<p>Hello I am currently a freshman at Penn State University majoring in "energy business and finance" and I am going to apply to a few schools this fall in the beginning of my sophomore year to transfer in as a junior. (I chose PSU because I really didn't know what I wanted to study and it's not to far from home) I have always wanted to go to Johns Hopkins (I visited there today) but I know admissions are very selective. I think I would be a strong candidate for Hopkins as a transfer. They have a major very similar to mine as well. Here are my stats.</p>
<p>Stats
-College GPA: 3.8
-36 credits from freshman year
-Essays will be of high caliber
-2-3 very strong letters of recommendation from close professors
-Enrolled in the Penn State honors college
-Dean's List both semesters
-Penn State Superior Academic Achievement Award</p>
<p>E.C.'s
-Residential Advisor
-Tutor at the writing center
-Residence Hall Council
-Political Science Club
-Ski and snowboard club
-Penn State Honors Society
-Volunteer at the salvation army
-Volunteer at habitat for humanity
-Volunteer coaching
-Volunteer at local state park doing environmental work
-A good amount of international experience in the past
-International Volunteer work in Belize this upcoming summer
-Research in energy economics at the University (hopefully happening next year)
-Internship at Peco Energy (Philadelphia Pa)
-Intern and employee at local psychology firm 3 consecutive summers throughout high school
-Play the piano and baseball</p>
<p>Other factors
-White (Caucasian)
-Family Income $250,000 per year (no financial aid needed)
-Both parents have college degrees
-I want to transfer to a school with a more learning focused environment
-I also prefer to be in the city. </p>
<p>-I know my e.c.'s aren't very focused right now but I am going to work hard to get them focused next year. If you do not believe I am qualified please leave some advice as to how I could better qualify myself! (improve my transcripts and e.c.'s and what not)</p>
<p>-Please chance me and thanks for your time!</p>
