Chance me please - OOS for W&M, JMU, and UVa.

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Could someone please chance me?</p>

<p>Stats
-23 y/o (will be 24 when I actually started classes)
-My HS GPA is low, 2.75. I graduated in 2006. Did not take SAT/ACT.</p>

<p>-Took time off. Started at ASU part time in Summer 2010. Went part time until now to decide what I wanted to go to school for. Will be going FT this year, hoping to xfer to William and Mary, UVa., or JMU in Fall 2012.</p>

<p>-ASU GPA: 3.8 (could be 3.9 after this year)</p>

<p>-Will be considered OOS.</p>

<p>-I will have most of my general ed classes done for all three schools (will need another year of foreign language though, and 1 calculus class).</p>

<p>-I did a dual-enrollment program while in HS. I didn't do that great in it and I have 2-3 Ws and 1 F in a French class. This was over 5 years ago though, hopefully it will not hurt me too badly? </p>

<p>WHAT I WANT TO APPLY FOR
I'm interested in applying for the 5-year BA/MAT programs that all 3 schools offer for teacher education. I would like to double major in History and Biology so that I can be certified to teach Biology and Social Studies to high school students. I am finding that I truly love learning, reading, and my academics.</p>

<p>I'm interested in William and Mary, UVa., and JMU. Could someone chance me? </p>

<p>Also, I am taking a full load this semester (fall 2011) and next semester (spring 2012) in preparation of transferring. Courses will include Precalc/Statistics, French 101/102, US History, Literature, Chemistry, Biology, Religion, Philosophy (15 credits each term).</p>

<p>JMU maybe, but the others are far reaches with that kind of high school preformance.</p>

<p>Thank you for responding. With it being 6 years since I graduated, and my return to college being strong with a 3.9 GPA, wouldn’t they be more likely to look at my college work though, than my HS grades from 6 years ago? Not arguing at all, just wondering what the timeframe is for when they stop looking at HS grades, and pay more attn. to college performance?</p>

<p>I’m not familiar with applying to such programs 6yrs after graduating, but if that is the case, college preformance would be more relevant.</p>
