Hello!
So transfer admission decisions are right around the corner for UVA, and it is driving me crazy of how slow time is passing by. The anticipation is killing me so please do me a favor and chance me? I am currently a college freshmen ending his 2nd semester.
So my stats are:
High School GPA: 3.94
High school activities: Marching band( 4 years, 2 years leadership), Rowing ( 4 years, 3 years varsity), TriM Honor Society ( 2 years), History Honor Society( 2 years)
High school honors: Honor Roll Student, Athletic honor roll
High school Volunteer: Volunteer Intern at Georgetown University 300+ Hours
ACT: 25
SAT: 1550( Don’t get me even started on them, I changed as a person since then and started caring more)
College: James Madison University (JMU)
College GPA 1st Semester: 3.94, 15 credits
College GPA 2nd Semester (tentative to change): 3.83, 17 credits
College EC: Marching Band( 1 semester), Rowing ( 2 Semesters), Philosophy Honor Society ( 1 semester)
College Honors: Dean’s List
Recommendations: I have a stellar one from my philosophy professor and I also (should) have one from the Head Coach of UVA’s Rowing team
Aside from that, can you guys tell me your personal pros and cons for transferring. I really ended up loving it at JMU but the rowing team isn’t satisfactory for me here as well as UVA offers a top notch program from my majors: Philosophy and Chemistry.
