Chances???

<p>Hello im a florida resident and legacy to UF</p>

<p>Anyways I go to Brevard Community College in florida and I was wondering if I have good chances as a transfer with these stats. Also Im a dual enrollment student ready to transfer as a junior while only a senior in high school. I have my AA degree.</p>

<p>3.84 GPA with hard classes: (AA degree requirements but the engineer route)</p>

<p>General Chem 1&2 W/ LAB
General Physics 1&2 W/ LAB
College algebra and college calculas.
American history
Humanities
Speech
Communications 1&2</p>

<p>Anyways I also have my high school grades and stats to back up.
high school gpa: 3.6 UW
3.9 W</p>

<p>SAT: 570 CR, 620 Math, 570 Writing
Composite: 1200/1600 and 1760/2400</p>

<p>EC’s:

  • Eagle scout- Patrol leader
  • Civil air patrol- Staff grade
  • Student council senator. Future vice president (hopefully)
  • Double varsity letterman
  • JROTC (only 1 year though)
  • 80+ Community service hours.
  • Honor Roll Consistently
  • National Leadership Conference at D.C attender.</p>

<p>HOOK: AA degree when graduate high school.</p>

<p>BTW, Im in top shape.
CPT FROM CIVIL AIR PATROL AND JROTC:
Mile: 5:50
Push ups: 55
Sit ups (in 1 min): 62
Sit and reach: 42"
(assume good fitness)</p>

<p>I will also have a great interview because I am confident,outgoing, and have leadership quality.</p>

<p>What is a legacy to (college)UF? Also, you can not transfer to the Air Force Academy and you dont even know your own rank in Civil Air Patrol. There is no such thing as "staff grade."</p>

<p>omg. Wow stop being so critical. STAFF SARGEANT. My gosh its called abbreviation (and being lazy :))</p>

<p>You should never be lazy, if you want good feedback on here.</p>

<p>im sorry Mr. Perfect who never is lazy and is so critical but would you like to evaluate me and waste your typing on that or evaluate my spelling and abbreviations?</p>

<p>btw, although I Know I cant transfer, it is still a hook.</p>

<p>Your chances seem decent, but your SATs are pretty low. </p>

<p>If you want any positive feedback here, its not a good idea to show up for the first time and yell at another member for correcting your lazy mistakes. If you can't handle that, how are you going to handle a cadre screaming in your face for 40 days?</p>

<p>It is almost funny how people can assume "I cant handle it" just because I hate it when people on CC correct people when they know what you are talking about. Anyways, I apologize. But I think I can handle it because im mentally prepared and tough. Im in varsity wrestling and trust me, no offense, but no PT can beat that.</p>

<p>mentally tough? it seems like people are already getting to you.</p>

<p>and by the way, one more "lazy" or better yet "stupid" mistake. it's "sergeant" not "sargeant"</p>

<p>thanks for pointing that out you saved my life.</p>

<p>I'd like to point out that your last post was a run-on sentence.</p>

<p>Chances,</p>

<p>One thing that is FAR more important at this Academy than anything else is character and relations to other people, which you are not doing so hot in. You're snapping at people who are at the Academy, here trying to give you honest criticism and advice (albeit rudely).</p>

<p>You might get in here, but you won't succeed without your flightmates. Don't start off with them the way you have here. You might get by, but you'll be miserable. </p>

<p>And another note...ALOs and congressmen can see these kinds of traits...and they don't like them. Your appointment hinges on their approval, no matter how good you are in school or athletics. Just a thought.</p>

<p>Well I tend to be somewhat rude over the internet because I am trying to be informal in my typing. If I really tried I could write a perfect, well-grammared sentence but im trying to relax and not have to worry on my time off. </p>

<p>Anyways I know what you mean. You HAVE to have a good attitude and I learned this in CAP and boy scouts. Being an eagle scout requires integrity and all of those excellent traits.</p>

<p>Sorry I started this thread rudely. Allow me to re-introduce myself. Im Chances. :)</p>

<p>I would say that your grades/tests look a little low, but your college gpa might help that. (I'm no expert here.)</p>

<p>An AA degree might be a help, but not as much as at a "normal" college.</p>

<p>A couple of side notes: 1. Do not assume that basic will be easier than anything you have done before. Parts of it might be, but you will not know until you have done it yourself. 2. If you get angry at people for correcting your laziness, you are going to need a Big adjustment here or you will be miserable.</p>

<p>Just a reiteration of Raimius point about not assuming that your wrestling experience will be harder (or even as hard as) BCT. I will note that my son, who was captain of his HS football team, was/is in PHENOMENAL shape, and had been through hell in training for varsity football, will still say that BASIC was the hardest thing he had gone through (I think it's the combination of BOTH the mental and physical aspects). No matter what shape you are in, you are pushed to your limit and everyone, it sees, breaks down at one time or another during Basic. Having said all that, your chances look good with Hornet guy's caveat about your SATs. So, take'em again and try the ACTs too. I'm sure you can boost them up. Someone else posted that you can't "transfer". Comments about attitude shouldn't be taken lightly (especially from the guys that are already there) but your last post tells me that you have the maturity to own up to how you came across -- and that says a lot ;) Best of luck.</p>

<p>Sorry, I missed a sentence in that last post. "Someone else posted that you can't transfer." I meant to add that all that means is that you have to start over without any prior credits from your college. Many find that well worth it -- particularly if their community college credits help them to get in.</p>

<p>thank you.</p>

<p>It is well worth it to be accepted and start over. </p>

<p>Also, my SAT scores are on my first try so I probably will take them again.</p>

<p>A note about academics...</p>

<p>During Basic you will take a lot of validation tests. Despite being tired, you will want to do your absolute best on these tests, despite what anyone says.</p>

<p>Here's why: these tests give you a chance to validate out of classes that you would have to take as a freshman AND get credit for them. </p>

<p>I personally did very well on the calculus exam, and I validated out of two classes that I would have had to take, and am now taking Calculus III. If I hadn't decided to pursue a tech major, I wouldn't even have to take math the WHOLE FOUR YEARS I was here because I did well on that test. Just something to think about.</p>

<p>So those credits in college might help you...but you'll have to prove you know it.</p>

<p>If you also have AP credit, you can validate a lot more classes. I have validated enough classes to keep my course load to 15.5 or less credits a semester. I am also a year ahead of my major which means I can begin individual research early (Biochem) which also means I have a stronger resume for med school. That's my example. But I also know the workload in (for example) calc 1 and chem 141 are far larger than those for calc 3 and chem 222. For chem 222, I get 9 credits (one semester) for chem 141,142, 222. For math, this may be my last semester of calc, I don't need diff eq, just stats. </p>

<p>Essentially, life gets a lot easier and less hectic if you start ahead and stay there.</p>

<p>Ok so what you guys are saying is that I can transfer some credits as long as I take a validation test? Also, keep up the good work hornet it sounds like your doing the right thing. </p>

<p>Before I graduate I will have Calc 1 and 2 over with at community college and general cemistry 1 and 2 and general physics 1 and 2. I hope to major in aerospace engineering.</p>
