<p>About me:</p>
<p>Freshman at U of Iowa, woefully underperformed my first year and a half or so in high school. I desperately want to transfer back to my home state of Wisconsin to UW-Madison, here are my stats</p>
<p>High School stats/activites</p>
<p>class rank 180/390
weighted gpa: 3.3 (big upward trend in last few years)
German exchange program
Orchestra European tour 2006 (Prague, Vienna, Salzburg)
Symphony Orchestra
Chamber Orchestra
Track, 3 years
28 ACT composite, 12 on the writing sample (will the writing score be weighed heavily? I feel it's a real feather in my cap and I hope they take it in to consideration).</p>
<p>College-level stats</p>
<p>AP Gov: 5
AP German: 4
AP English Lit: 4 </p>
<p>(all good scores, hoping they will see I can really perform when challenged).</p>
<p>3.8 gpa my first semester at Iowa with 15 credits under my belt, not including retroactive and AP credits, which rachets the total up to 28 for the semester.</p>
<p>So...chance me, please. Pretty please. I'm on pins and needles here.</p>
