<p>I have for you, a typical freshman sob story of sorts. To spare you the pain of reading my pointless rant I'll try and sum it up as quickly as possible. Basically I chose the wrong college and things seem to be crumbling around me. </p>
<p>I am a freshman studying political science with a concentration in pre-law at SIU-C. I have always been a well read student, however in high school I had problems applying myself which lead me to Southern Illinois University. My first semester was an absolute disaster. The combination of a friend being a lousy roommate, a girlfriend of 2 years back at home desperately clinging to me, a general lack of motivation, and a borderline moronic TA instructing my economic course presented me with a dismal 2.4 GPA and 12 credit hours. </p>
<p>Now for the important part: After a few "life adjustments" I'm back on track and I am working with a 4.0 gpa at spring semester midterm. While I know I can't erase that first semester, I am planning on retaking my failed economic course and also taking 6 or 9 credits this summer. Also, I scored a 22 on the ACT the only time I took it and had a 2.5 gpa in high school. So with the above information, What would you say my chances are of gaining admission into University of Illinois-Chicago via transfer?</p>
<p>Hi, I’m 15 years old and am currently a junior. I have a 3.5 gpa and took the ACT for practice/just to see how it’d go with no prep in December and got a 25 (( I am retaking it again and hope to get a 28-30 hopefully! I am Junior Class President, heavily involved in Student Council, Part of NHS-going to be an officer next year, actively involved in Key Club and voleenteer countless hours. I am also an active voleenteer in my church. I was selected for leadership in my schools conference. I have taken challenging classes my whole high school career and took 2 AP Classes this year and am taken 3 next year. I also job shadow my dentist. I want to be a dentist or an oral surgeon and am applying for UIC this June early admission. Do you think I can get in with my current stats? I am praying so because it is the only school that tuition is reasonable and yet offers a strong medical field. I have also been on varsity tennis for 3 years and varsity track for 3 years. I hope to appear well rounded. Thank you for reading this and taking the time to answer, I appreciate it very much as I come from a middle-class family and do not have many options for college due to my low gpa and only a couple schools offer pre-dental in Illinois and their tuition is well out of my range. Thanks once again!*</p>
