Didn’t see a thread up for fall 2016 transfers, so I’ll post here! I’ll be applying to CAS.
College:
College GPA: 4.00/4.00 over 53 credits
Taking 15 credits this semester, expecting straight A’s again
English major and Classics minor
Made Dean’s List, President’s Honor Roll, and Provost’s Honor Roll every semester
Will need Financial Aid
Currently at a university ranked around #50
No AP credit
Right now I’m a second semester sophomore
HS:
Went to a religious high school that had a dual curriculum in secular studies (math, English, etc) and religious classes (Jewish stuff like Gemara and Mishnah).
Secular Studies GPA: 5.07/4.30 W and 3.99/4.00 UW
Jewish Studies GPA: 3.97/4.30 W and 3.86/4.00 UW (with upward trend)
I had on average 18 classes a semester in high school due to the dual curriculum.
School did not offer any APs, so I only took one AP (English Lit) after self studying - I got a 4.
School did not rank.
I was accepted to my current university through an Early Admissions program, which let me skip 12th grade. So I only went to high school for 3 years.
SAT: 2220 (770 CR, 760 W, 690 M)
ACT: 32 (36 E, 34 CR, 32 M, 27 S)
Did not take SAT Subject Tests ever
College Extracurriculars:
Reporter for School Newspaper, Internship at the Mayor’s Office in a Nearby City, Paid Peer Tutor at the University, On the Committee for Programming at the Hillel on Campus, Member of University’s Grievance Committee, Note-Taker for Office of Disabilities at the University, Coach for a Little League Sports Team on Sundays, Social Director for the Condo I Live in, Founding Member of University’s Classics Table, Founding Member of University’s Fantasy Sports Club
Recommendations: Two professors I’ve taken twice each (one is an English professor and one is a Math professor). I went to their office hours a lot so they know me quite well, and I received A’s and A+'s from them both, so I think the letters will be strong.
