Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>About me:</p>

<p>Freshman at U of Iowa, woefully underperformed my first year and a half or so in high school. I desperately want to transfer back to my home state of Wisconsin to UW-Madison, here are my stats</p>

<p>High School stats/activites</p>

<p>class rank 180/390
weighted gpa: 3.3 (big upward trend in last few years)
German exchange program
Orchestra European tour 2006 (Prague, Vienna, Salzburg)
Symphony Orchestra
Chamber Orchestra
Track, 3 years
28 ACT composite, 12 on the writing sample (will the writing score be weighed heavily? I feel it's a real feather in my cap and I hope they take it in to consideration).</p>

<p>College-level stats</p>

<p>AP Gov: 5
AP German: 4
AP English Lit: 4 </p>

<p>(all good scores, hoping they will see I can really perform when challenged).</p>

<p>3.8 gpa my first semester at Iowa with 15 credits under my belt, not including retroactive and AP credits, which rachets the total up to 28 for the semester.</p>

<p>So...chance me, please. Pretty please. I'm on pins and needles here.</p>

<p>bump...it seems that many of members here follow the mindset that if the prospective college isn't an Ivy or on the coasts it doesn't matter.</p>

<p>hmmm wow, come on.</p>

<p>You've got a fair shot because you're doing quite well at U of Iowa, but your high school stuff... Yikes. UW-Madison isn't exactly the least selective of schools, but you probably know that.</p>
