Do I have a chance of transferring into GT?

<p>Right now I am at a community college in South Florida and am hoping on transferring to GT for the fall of '09</p>

<p>High school:</p>

<p>SAT: 1270/1600 and 1880/2400</p>

<p>AP & Honors: Didn't take AP's but took a lot of Honors</p>

<p>GPA: 3.95 weighted, 3.3 unweighted</p>

<p>ECs: Wrestled 3 seasons</p>

<p>Job/Work Experience: 3 summers as a camp counselor, one at a pool store, one with an advertising agency, and one with a restaurant</p>

<p>Community College:</p>

<p>I'm in the CC's Honors program. Also the VP of the Honors Student Committee which is the core club and figurehead of Honors program.</p>

<p>SAT: Should I retake it? I might be able to find somewhere in Spain to take it.</p>

<p>GPA: After 29 credits I have a 3.89. I am expecting to have over a 3.9 after 40 credits at the end of this summer.</p>

<p>Essays: Not sure if transfers are required to have essays but I have good topics and would polish them nicely</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: above average</p>

<p>Ethnicity: Hispanic</p>

<p>Gender: M</p>

<p>I'll be applying as an Industrial Engineering major, and the website says that they require a 3.0 for oos transfers into that major. I will have also completed all of their requirements, plus will have done linear algebra and a programming course.</p>

<p>I'm not sure if there's a place for this in an essay or application, or if GT cares about this sort of thing, but I won a scholarship at my school which pays for an entire semester of study abroad. I'll be spending this fall in Seville, Spain but the downside is that there is no math, physics, or science there.</p>

<p>Also, another thing that I have going for me that GT might care about: I had planned on joining the Marine Corps out of high school but lost my left kidney a couple of months before leaving for boot camp. I faced that adversity and since then, my grades and dedication towards school have increased as shown by my GPA and involvement in school, showing the upward trend.</p>

<p>If you have all the classes done and have 30 transferable hours then you in. From reading the above you are in and you have nothing to worry about</p>
