Do I have a chance?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello all, </p>

<p>I am applying to nine schools for the Fall of 2015 year to transfer. I am at community college at the moment and will graduate on time in the spring with my Associates of Science degree.
My Schools are as follows:</p>

<p>Current School:
Richard Bland College of the college of William and Mary</p>

<p>Reach-
college of William and Mary
George Washington University
UNC-Chapel Hill</p>

<p>Match-
Meredith College
Sweet Briar College
Hollins University</p>

<p>Safety-
Virginia Commonwealth
James Madison University
George Mason University</p>

<p>I attended a small women's liberal arts college in Pennsylvania my first year of college. When my father had a stroke this past January, I decided to come back home and go to community college since it is cheaper as well as to help take care of him. I did pretty mediocre my first semester (2.98 cGPA) and then my grades worsened in the second semester (2.78 cGPA) due to my anxiety disorder. I finished my first year a 2.82 cGPA. I am now taking medication for it and am much better. I am currently looking at possibly receiving a cGPA of 3.4 for my first semester as a sophomore for this fall semester. I know it is a bit low for my reaches...but you never know until you try. I am heavily involved. I finished SMDEP at the University of Louisville this past summer and LOVED it!!! I would love to become a physician and I know it is tough being pre-med with the cGPA that I do have, but I am determined. I also did independent research this past spring and am currently doing microbiology research once again in a wet lab at my community college. I also am volunteering at the moment and have about 50 hours of service volunteering as a tutor for disadvantaged kids in elementary school. I would really love to attend GWU at the moment and it looks like the school for me-leadership, research, internships, and community involvement. As for WM, I live 5 minutes down the street from the college. It would be cheaper to commute everyday to school but I am not really in love with the student body as I have noticed the majority I come in contact with aren't very friendly. Please let me know what you all think. I really love GWU and would absolutely love to continue my education there!!!</p>

<p>You have a realistic plan. Vetch and Mary Washington are the two others came to mind </p>

<p>Virginia Tech and Mary Washington? I considered them but I wanted to keep my list to the most of 9 schools. I am just really concerned for my chances for GWU. Not only is that school expensive (staggering tuition AND R/B) but they give out decision letters very late in May which is past the May 1 deadline for the usual decision of the applicant. I am going to be making a trip to DC perhaps in two weeks for a tour of the school. My final exams week is a week before there’s so I can see students on campus. </p>
