<p>Hey, I'm currently a freshman at another in-state university looking to transfer to UVA next fall and I was wondering if anyone could chance me. I need something to boost my confidence (I got denied the first time) and someone to point out the weak areas of my application/resume</p>

<p>Current year/major: Freshman/Mechanical engineering
Reason to transfer: Study Aerospace engineering
GPA: Perfect 4.0

Planned 2nd semester classes (23 credits): Linear Algebra, Circuits, Physics 2, Astronomy, Math reasoning, Thermodynamics, Mechanics of Deformables (By the way, I'm taking 2 classes from this list at 2 different community colleges since I can't take all 23 credits at my home school. I got approval from my advisor to do this)
E.C's: Rubik's Cube Club, Quiz Bowl Team, Japanese Club</p>

Extracurriculars: Free math tutoring (10,11,12), Part-time sales associate at Best Buy (worked about 1 year during junior and senior year), Forensics Speech and Debate (12), Robotics (12), Co-president of Mu Alpha Theta (12)
Other Noteworthy Info:
-Took college classes at community college during junior and senior year (Engineering Statics (Grade: C), Statistics (A), Engineering Dynamics (C), Differential Equ. (B))</p>
<p>Since I got rejected with my high school stats, I'm thinking that I'll actually have a shot now since I achieved a 4.0 GPA with 19 credits, which shows I improved considerably academically since I used to makes A's, B's and some C's in high school classes, and C's in college-level classes. What do you guys think? Do I have really have a shot with my new college stats?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
