<p>I am planning on sending an application for transfer (spring semester). I am currently a sophomore student. Below are my stats:</p>
<p>Canadian, Male
Wayne State University (WSU)</p>
<p>Reasons for transfer-
The place I am in right now really sucks. Academically speaking, I cant stand the schools atmosphere because I feel as if half the school is academically retarded. I really didnt want to enroll at WSU in the first place; I attend WSU because of my financial/family situation. I have always attended schools which were respectable and intellectually challenging. I feel as if attending WSU limits my chances of success and does not allow me to achieve my full potential.</p>
<p>High School-
GPA: 89%~3.75(Grades were a bit low because I was involved in an Enriched program)
SAT/ACT scores: I didnt write either of the tests because it was not required of me as a Canadian student.
ECs: I joined a bunch of clubs and was partly responsible for organizing some large events like Relay for life. I also did a bit of volunteering around the community.</p>
<p>College-
Major: Honors Chemistry/University Honors co-major (pre-med)
Credits: 60 including this semester
GPA: 4.0
Past Courses (I received an A in every course):
Honors Gen/Organic Chemistry I
Honors Organic Chemistry II
Analytical Chemistry
Basic Composition (English)
Elementary Greek
Calculus 1
Calculus 2
Basic Life Mechanisms(BIO I)
Basic Life Diversity (BIO II)
Microeconomics
Note: The honors chemistry/bio courses had labs integrated within the course
Current Courses:
Calculus-Based Physics I
Calculus-Based Physics I lab
Calculus-Based Physics II
Calculus 3
World Regional Patterns (Geography)
Note: I got special permission from the physics department to take physics I/II at the same time.
ECs: Most of my ECs are academic based. I have joined a couple of minor clubs but I wouldnt say I am a hard-core member. I currently work as an undergraduate researcher in molecular genetics at the BIO department. I also participate in a couple of cultural organizations within my community.</p>
<p>Recommendations: I can get a recommendation letter from the professor who I do research with (he also taught me). I can also get a letter from my English professor who once told me that I was his best student in his 30 years of teaching. The professor who taught me calculus sent me a letter thanking me for my active participation in the class; I think he can write me a nice letter a well. </p>
<p>Hopefully one of you guys can help me out. It took me forever to write this! Thanks ahead of time.</p>
