<p>Hi, I'm applying as a transfer student for the Linguistics program. My GPA is not stellar and I think that it might hold me back as I apply. Here are some other qualifications:</p>
<p>*In-state
* A.A. degree from Running Start program
* Had an impressive job at my CC at age 17 where I was responsible for a $45K+ budget, coordination of events, and sat on various committees with college officials
* 1990 SAT (570 Math, 690 CR, 730 Writing)
* Gap year with an AmeriCorps program as a literacy tutor in the most linguistically diverse ZIP in the entire country. Seriously, in a group of 7 students there are 5 different home languages spoken. Will have acquired 1700 hours of service to the Seattle community after the end of my term
* I also volunteer for Seattle Public Library, the Washington Talking Book and Braille Library, and do anti-racism trainings on Fridays with the social justice organization I am with
*In my free time, I take Norwegian lessons to get more in touch with my heritage</p>
<p>Let me know what you think! I appreciate any and all feedback. I'm just really worried about my GPA, especially with the level of competition that there is for slots nowadays.</p>
