Do I have a shot....PLEASE CHANCE!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi all, I'm currently active duty in the military. My contract will be up next august and I plan to transfer to a university for fall of 2012. These are my stats:</p>

<p>Hispanic male
Want to major in: Computer Engineering
Current school: Ventura College in CA
HS GPA: 2.7 (horrible I know)
Current GPA: 3.68 (should go up to 3.79 hopefully by end of this semester)
SAT/ACT scores: CR-640, Math-600, Writing-590, total 1830 (I just retook them this year, but I think I can do better and might end up retaking them again)
Hooks: US Navy active duty, 1st generation hispanic, 1st person in my family to go to college
Courses: College Composition, Elementary Algebra, Introduction to Guitar, Principles of Macroeconomics, Intro to Computer Network Tech, Intro to Oral Communication (currently taking: General Chemistry I, Precalculus)
Another thing to consider is I have currently completed 19 credit hours and I'll have 29 credits by the end of this year.
Alot of these schools have calc 1 and 2 as a requirement, I guarantee these courses will be done by the end of summer 2012</p>

<p>These are the schools I'm interested in applying to:
UT-Austin
UI- Urbana Champaign
Texas A&M
Purdue University
University of Southern California
University of Wisconsin- Madison
UMass- Amherst
Ohio State University (Safety school I guess)
Rose-Hulman Insitute (I hear its really good and its free to apply so why not?)</p>

<p>So what do you think my chances are? I know the essays carry alot of weight too, so i'll definitely be working hard on them. I'm hoping maybe my military background might give me and edge but who knows :/ Thanks in advance guys. I'm hoping to come back into the military as an officer after getting my bachelors.</p>

<p>I think your going to have to wait until 2013 to transfer. Most universities require that you have at the very least calc 1 and physics 1 done when applying. This will give you more time to raise your gpa too. </p>

<p>ok thanks for your input, yea I hear what you’re saying, and I know its gonna be tough with the prerequisites, but I gotta go ahead and try anyways. I’m at least hoping to get into OSU and then maybe transfer again afterwards. I think I may also appy to Arizona State, I heard its pretty easy to get in. Anyone else?</p>
