<p>Hey all, just wondering if I could chance me. another thread as I change my list of colleges</p>

College: Community College
Major: Biology/Pre-med
GPA: 4.0
Credits as of transfer time: 65 (8-12 remedial)
ECs: Ehhh... ~100 or so hours of work with PTK in past year, ~400 hours of volunteer work over 4 years at local food bank. No leadership.
Work: Part-time tutor
SAT: 740 CR/570 M/700 W for Nov 2013 (math should be in the high 600s at least now...)</p>
<p>Match:

Emory</p>
<p>High Match:
Vanderbilt (25% transfer acceptance)
USC
UVA (OOS)</p>
<p>Reach:
Oberlin</p>
<p>High Reach:
Brown</p>
<p>sound good? I'm still messing with these...</p>
<p>I mean if you got general chem, organic chem, physics, calc, etc. that is very strong. </p>
<p>As a transfer it’s basically like this
Major-Pre Reqs
GPA
…
…
Life-Experience

ECs</p>
<p>Once you are out of the 18-21ish age bracket, what you have done in life and how the real world has changed you is much more important than ECs like treasure of typical school club.</p>
<p>With that said a lot of schools are looking for a certain type of student. I doubt a school like Brown is looking for high school failure trying to change their life (hence me not applying to brown.) On the other hand schools like USC and U Michigan are looking for that type of person.</p>
