<p>K so right now I'm going to Henry Ford Community College and plan on transferring to U of M dearborn in the winter. As of now I have a 3.7 GPA but it should actually go up once I transfer to UofMd because the music classes I did crappy in won't transfer. As of right now I have 4 more semesters until I can get my associates in accounting with the last 2 having very few classes due to the fact that my general ed. classes are already out of the way. I'm just joining the honors program and phi theta kappa. I'm also thinking about joining the accounting/business club but it doesn't seem like these clubs would be too helpful in applying for different schools. I was wondering what some clubs/extracurriculars would be good to join for transferring to schools such as U of M's Ross. </p>
<p>I was also wondering what would look better: joining honor program at hfcc, or not and going to u of m d since apparently they don't have an honors program for business (my admissions counselor that i talked to at uofmd hinted that I wouldn't be able to join an honors program but that guy was a waste of my time)</p>
<p>also: I have a son so I would assume that that would lower my expectations for extracurriculars considering he takes up more of my time than anything? if so, do they even ask you stuff like that when applying for colleges? is it considered a "hook"?</p>
<p>I was also thinking about starting/joining a charity… does anybody know the first thing to do to set one up or a good charity to try to join that would give me a good position where I could actually use my full abilities rather than stuff boxes with food?</p>
<p>I would recommend joining the clubs since they’re a great way to get a feel of what to expect working in the real world. Also, I’m not too sure exactly what clubs are available at your cc but you can look at the umd webpage to see some of the clubs they have [to compare or whatnot]</p>
<p>I wouldn’t consider having a child a “hook” but in the end, I don’t believe umd has any essay questions you have to fill out. Just application, SAT, gpa/courses. But if so, you can bring it up since its an interesting topic.</p>

<p>That’s great! I’m not too sure what you’re looking to do but a typical person does not simply jump into a high position in a job, even at a nonprofit/charity organization. You’ll have to “stuff boxes” or do some small labor before having a bigger position. If you work more, of course they will get to know you better and give you more important work to do.</p>
