McIntre Chances (Transfer)

Colleges & Universities A-Z University of Virginia

<p>I attend Thomas Nelson Community College and I am hoping to transfer to U.Va in Fall of 2012.</p>

<p>Right now I have a 3.73, but I am retaking the class that I received a C in (goofed up in an online class). So, hypothetically I'll have a 4.0.</p>

<p>Concrete:
Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society
Student Government Association Senator
Students in Free Enterprise
Honors Program; Honors Classes
3.73 GPA
1280 SAT
Currently taking 19 credits
Currently working 20-30 hours per week (at two jobs)
Letter of recommendation from VP of Academic Affairs</p>

<p>Hypothetical:
PTK Chapter VP of Membership/Treasurer (Fall 2011; applied)
SGA Treasurer (Fall 2011; applied/running)
SIFE
Honors credit for core classes (Accounting, Economics, Business)
Pre-requisites met (including Spanish)
Computer Programming course over summer
Intership at BayPort Credit Union over summer
4.0 GPA
1350+ SAT (retaking)
* Math subject tests
19 credits for Fall semester</p>

<p>Essentially, the concrete is what I have as of right now. The hypothetical is my plan. I am pretty certain on most of the hypothetical, but there are many things I have to consider. A. Whether or not I am accepted/win the admin positions (vp and treas), B. Whether or not I get the internship, C. Whether or not I maintain a 4.0, D. Whether or not I can break 1350 on my SAT.</p>

<ul>
<li>Would these be useful?</li>
</ul>

<p>So, in an ideal world, all of those are accomplished, what do you say my odds are? Any advice on other things I can do to improve my chances? I am dieing to get in to McIntire.</p>

<p>Dear adamp319,
Hypothetically, you’ll not have a GPA of 4.0, since I believe UVA use the average of the two classes if you have retaken the class. So your GPA will be close to 3.9. You can still explain about your C in the application.
If all your hypotheses come true, you will have a great chance if your essays are also good. However, reaching for too many things at once may affect your grades.
I personally don’t like people who want the officer position so that their application will look good.<br>
You don’t need to take the SAT subject test. It’s not required. </p>

<p>Overall, you have great potential but in order to make the hypotheses come true, you need to manage your time and effort very well.</p>

<p>Good luck!!!</p>

<p>Hey Adamp319,</p>

<p>I know this might be late, but I think you’ll have a great chance of getting in, especially since you’re from a VCCS. Just stay on top of your schooling and get as many credits as you can. If I get in to McIntire, I’ll let you know and you can ask me any questions you might have.</p>
