Hey guys! I’m applying this winter with hopes of being admitted as a Junior for Fall 2018 - class of 2020. Let me know what you guys think! To explain my GPA: I took a few dual enrollment courses in high school and got C’s. This is why my GPA has been anchored; however, I have been dean’s list in the entirety of my post-HS CC enrollment. I hope my upward trend and EC’s can vouch for me when they look at my app.
Stats/Essay/Recs:
-GPA: 3.3/4.0 upon application submission, but will be graduating with a 3.5-3.6
-Cum Laude Associate’s with Honors (spring 2018 - keeping in mind i’ll have 3.5+ after final spring semester)
-Dean’s list x4 semesters
-Strong essay
-2 strong letters of rec
EC’s:
-Founder/President of Finance related club at CC
-Founder/President of Professional Development related club at CC
-Volunteer/Fundraising/Charity work
-Bloomberg Market Concepts Certification
Work/Relevant Experience?
-Current part-time business/data internship at tech. company
-Summer 2017 Bloomberg Financial Analytics internship in London
-Studied financial markets abroad in London, Summer 2017
What do you guys think? I’m very worried about my GPA. The deadline for applying as a transfer will be before my 3.3 bumps up to a 3.5-3.6 and I think this will hurt me. Also, I know for a fact that my GPA will rise to these heights as I have used the calculators- i expect to get all a’s because I only have business electives left for the spring.
Cheers!
