<p>I am taking this fall semester off to transfer in the spring, and I wanted to ask here before finalizing my list of schools</p>
<p>I am applying as a junior from a small, middle of the road, liberal arts school. I am applying as a Biology Major, I am also a premedical student. </p>
<p>Summary of my application:</p>
<p>College GPA: 3.8
My science/math GPA is 3.92
(I have only gotten a B in an art class my first semester when I wanted to be a graphic design major, since then it has been all As and A-s)
Not the most rigorous courseload, Bio 1&2, Chem 1&2, Calc, Statistics, and other gen. ed courses. </p>
<p>HS GPA: 3.3
SATs: somewhere in the 1200s, luckily for most schools I will not have to submit them since I'm applying as a junior. UVA is the only school that asks for them on my list. </p>
<p>I am writing my essay about the change that I have undergone in college, which is reflected in my transcript. My first semester was a 3.3, from then on out it was a 3.9 or higher. </p>
<p>Extracurriculars:
Work Study internship at Harvard Medical School for 2 years (non-clinical)
Research Assistant in a hospital laboratory for 1 year
Student tutor for Cellular/molecular biology for 1 semester
Volunteer at local hospital during my time off for 6 months
Currently training to be an EMT
Member of business, psychology, and pre-med club at my last school
I am also an amateur boxer, do you guys think I should include that in my application or will schools look down upon it?</p>
<p>My list of schools is still subject to change, but right now it is:
U of Rochester (1st choice)
The College of New Jersey (in-state applicant)
Loyola New Orleans
University of Virginia
College of William and Mary
Wake Forest
U of Pittsburgh</p>
<p>Am I going to be considered a competitive applicant for all the schools that I listed? Aside from UVA which is my one major reach, especially since they ask for SAT scores</p>
<p>Any input would help, thanks</p>
