Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Figured I would throw this out here, I've yet to post on this forum, but have heard great things. </p>

<p>Anyway as the title states, looking to transfer into one of the listed schools..
-College of Charleston
-Towson University
-James Madison
-George Mason
-Florida State University
-UMD:College Park (Super Reach School)</p>

<p>I am applying with only 12 completed credit hours at my current university, but will be transferring in with 27 credit hours in Fall 2013 after next semesters course load. </p>

<p>Currently at SUNY Oswego. Marketing Major, looking to stay a business major/pre-business major if possible.</p>

<p>SAT: 1890 (660cr, 580mt, 650wr)
ACT: 28 (33rdg, 24mat, 25sci)</p>

<p>HS:
Regents Diploma Public NYS High School
Top 50% :(</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.09 Overall</p>

<p>I did poorly my Junior year of HS, 2.41 GPA, but turned it around Senior year and got a 3.71 with a huge course load. Then a 2 year travelling/working gap, followed by enrollment at current university.</p>

<p>GPA at current University: 3.6 Projected Final GPA based on where I sit as finals approach. </p>

<p>Recommendations:</p>

<p>Very good one from most recent employer, winery tasting room manager, focus is on character and public communications skills, work ethic.</p>

<p>Very good one from current Public Speaking professor (my only current 200 Level course!), focusing on academic ability, character in the classroom, consistency. </p>

<p>EC's:
Equestrian Studies/Advanced Horsemanship (12th Grade, 25hrs/wk, 45wk/yr)
C.A.N.T.E.R. Disabled Individual Horse Therapy Assistance (5hrs/wk, 3wk/yr)
Adopt-A-Highway (Current, 5hrs/week, 4wk/yr)
Positive Peer Culture Workshop (12hr/day, 4-day Program)</p>

<p>Anyway hopefully I didn't botch this too badly! Any and all input really is appreciated, I know this isn't Ivy league stuff, and I'm not some A+ EC-Loaded perfect transfer, however, I'm trying for it and I would love some input.</p>

<p>Thanks guys and gals.</p>

<p>JMU and GMU are decent schools, but they are by no means anything to really sweat about if you have good grades at your current uni.</p>

<p>UMD shouldn’t be too big of a hurdle either.</p>

<p>Heck, I know transfers with worse HS stats that got into VT with a 3.35 from a community college, so maybe you could even apply there.</p>

<p>The other schools I don’t know too much about, so anything I say would be pure speculation. Cept for Towson (kind of). I don’t think that would be too hard.</p>

<p>But I think a big chunk of what your chances would be would rest on your grades at your current Uni. Considering you’re probably taking mostly 1000- and 2000-level courses and that (at least according to friends of mine who go/have gone to one) SUNY colleges aren’t the most challenging institutions in the country, I wouldn’t expect grades to be a problem for you.</p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>I still think UMD:CP is going to be a huge stretch, but who knows. </p>

<p>And yes, all of my courses right now are 100 and 200 level, and my grades should come out from this semester with around a 3.5/3.6 depending on if a tricky final comes my way.</p>

<p>The input is much appreciated!!</p>
