Considering a transfer

<p>Hello fellow CC'ers. I post this a while ago not sure under what thread but i'll just post it here again. </p>

<p>I'm considering a transfer to UVA, currently I'm enrolled in a large public university in VA.</p>

<p>Info:
Current College Year Freshman
Current College GPA: With the end of midterms so far I have a 3.7 but I am confident I can raise it to a 4.0.
Current credits: Taking 16, receieved 6 from AP and taking 16 more next semseter.</p>

<p>High School:
GPA 3.4 ish I believe
6 AP courses
Marching Band
Concert Band
Jazz Band
Model Un President
Key Club
SATs 1700</p>

<p>SAT II's 600's on 3 exams</p>

<p>I also took an official LSAT practice exam scores unknown as of now don't know if its worth attaching?</p>

<p>I'm applying to the College of Arts and Sciences. So do I stand a chance?</p>

<p>yea - you stand a chance, but i'd honestly say the more time you can show at your other school maintaining excellent grades and staying involved, the better it will be come transfer time. You have a solid highschool record, but your GPA and SATs are what you want to distance yourself from. Maintaining a 3.7 at your current college will help to show the admissions committee that you have the commitment to succeed. </p>

<p>I'm guessing you're looking at transferring to enter Fall 08? Good luck! Just keep up the hard work and it should pay off for you! End out this year with great grades and I'd say you have a good chance. You can always transfer after your sophomore year as well, so if you didn't make it for fall 08, if you keep your GPA up, you could have a better shot applying after two years in college. That should be enough time to show your drive and determination and distance you from your GPA and SATs.</p>

<p>It sounds like you have a good chance of getting in. Unless you go to William & Mary, you would have a lot to gain by coming to UVA. Oh, don't attact practice LSAT scores. They won't care.</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot really appreciate it...earlier I had posted with chances for William and Mary in a different post. I ended up backing away from the idea of William and Mary didn't like the school that much. Any other information would help thanks a lot all.</p>
