Chance Me please, debating on applying

<p>I am a hispanic male applying as a sophmore <em>transfer</em> student from UNC Charlotte. Currently I am a Comp Sci major. </p>

<p>High School GPA: 3.1</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.3 </p>

<p>SAT: 1950 (710 Math, 690 Reading, 550 Writing)</p>

<p>First Semester Schedule:</p>

<p>English 1
Programming 1 (C++)
Calculus 1
Physics 1
American Politics</p>

<h2>Labs in Programming and Physics</h2>

<p>17 hours total</p>

<p>Spring Semester Schedule</p>

<p>English 2
Object Oriented Programming (Java) w/ Lab
Calculus 2
Physics 1 (calc based) w/ Lab</p>

<h2>General Chem w/ Lab</h2>

<p>18 Hours total</p>

<p>I am a little disappointed with my first semester. Throughout High school I was always lazy and had poor work ethic. I attempted to study more in college, but some of those old habits still broke through, and I was missing homeworks. I expect a better Spring semester work ethic wise.</p>

<p>I hope that the admissions staff with consider my course rigor and they will consider that I am taking the maximum course load allowed for a freshman. </p>

<p>Also, State will only take Engineering students who have Calc 3 finished, so I will have to finish that over the summer. Does anyone know if NC State will see my 2nd semester final grades before making a decision? I would rather they did, because I expect those grades to improve my 3.3 GPA.</p>

<p>Worth Applying? Should I wait till next year?</p>

<p>I also have excellent recommendation letters and good essays</p>

<p>State does not require Calc III to transfer. You don’t say what major you are applying for. You have to pick as a transfer student. Some engineering majors require a 3.5 minimum to transfer.</p>

<p>Nc state requires 8 hours of calc for engineering (comp sci)</p>

<p>Bump. Any thoughts? I’m revising essays now</p>

<p>Bump. This thread probably won’t matter in a few days, but I would like to know your thoughts!</p>
