I’ll be applying as an undergrad transfer student after completing my current degree in math from an out-of-state school (I am not from texas and I was able to finish this degree in 3 years, it dramatically was cheaper).
I want to transfer into the Jackson School of Geoscience to major in Geophysics. It’s my 1st and as far as I’m concerned ONLY choice I’m even considering.
I currently have a 3.95 gpa but due to imminent Cs in two tough classes and a B I expect to have a 3.8 minimum cumulative when I submit my application in fall. All As on my transcript period except the two Cs from this semester and a B. I would have 100 credit hours. The Cs are in Complex Analysis and Linear Algebra II not classes that transfer. The B is in Spanish. Mi no comprende.
I have taken multiple geology classes, 4 to be exact. I have met all pre-reqs for Geophysics due to a math degree.
Resume:
Summer Internship/REU @ UT Austin with a geoscience professor (1st year in school)
Internship at Los Alamos National Laboratories (2nd year in school)
(This fall will be my third year btw).
Head RA for my Campus Honors Dorm (this year).
Research Assistant for a professor on my current campus (this year).
I attend conferences such as the National Association of Black Geoscientists, American Geophysical Union, and some comp sci ones too. I have presented research posters multiple times and have gotten pretty good at it, although idk how to put that on my application to let admissions know that…
I plan to have GREAT letters of rec, 2-3 (one from each internship and one from a university professor). The ones sent out for me so far have been soooo phenomenal (they let me read them).
Umm in highschool I graduated with a 3.7 cumulative gpa and took all AP classes the last 2 years. I was in orchestra all 4 and would like to join UTUO although im not sure if thats relevant to my application. I’ll probably just send in my High school transcript anyways since it is listed.
I will be working on my essays over the next couple of months and plan to submit my application the SECOND august hits.
Chances?
