<p>Hello this board seems very helpful, so I thought I would ask those out there for their opinion. I applied to UVA as a transfer as a long shot, but after reading some posts, it seems maybe it won't be that far fetched. Here's what I'm working with: (thanks in advance)</p>

<p>College GPA : 3.51 (after 1st semester, 16 hours, taking 15 this semester)</p>

<p>regular classes i guess, maybe not really advanced but definitely not slacking off, what I'm taking this year in a nutshell: history, geology, psychology, music, calculus/stats, sailing, intermediate spanish</p>

<p>I don't really have any ECs, I'm in a fraternity, I was the pledge class VP (not really a big deal) and I'm a scholarship chair. I am going to teach English in China this summer, but by then admissions will have already made a decision, so i guess that doesnt really matter.</p>

<p>High School: This is why I am transferring, I want to goto a better school, I just need a 2nd chance. 2.7/2.8 range... it was a private school.</p>

<p>SATS: Math - 640 Reading - 670 Writing 710</p>

<p>ECS: I was on the football team for 4 years, had a few summer jobs, some volunteer work, nothing out of the ordinary, I guess other than a month long outward bound trip</p>

<p>and I'm asian and out of state if that matters.</p>

<p>USC...(south carolina). i thought they dont care what school though.</p>

<p>i want to goto a school where investment banks actively recruit at, and UVA is one of those schools, USC not so much. ivy league would be ideal, but thats definitely out of the question, hopefully UVA wont be with alot of luck.</p>
