Am going to work as assistant speech coach at my high school this semester
Reason to Transfer: I am planning to have surgery in Dec and my parents wanted me close to home. I feel that my academic needs will be met better at a large university where I can pursue my passions.</p>

<p>I can get a rec from the democratic candidate for governor for my state...Should I???</p>

<p>Surftb15: transfer for the spring.</p>

<p>Applying to:</p>

<p>Pitt
Rutgers
Some more to come</p>

<p>High school GPA: Around a 3.0. </p>

<p>College Scenario: </p>

<p>First semester @ Saint Anselm College = 1.2 GPA (DON'T ASK)</p>

<p>-Needed to be closer to home, so transferred to Drexel</p>

<p>First Semester @ Drexel = 3.4 GPA
Second Semester @ Drexel = 3.0 GPA
Third Semester @ Drexel = 2.12 GPA</p>

<ul>
<li>Gave some steroidzzz to the GPA at Drexel</li>
</ul>

<p>Fourth Semester @ Drexel = 3.67 GPA
Fifth Semester @ Drexel = 4.0 GPA</p>

<p>Overall = 3.15</p>

<p>Went to Community College, because Drexel Credits wont transfer anywhere.</p>

<p>Took 35 credits over the summer = 3.7 GPA
Taking 17 Credits now = will have 52 credits by the spring</p>

<p>mmmmmmmmmm</p>

<p>mmmmmmmmmmm what?</p>

<p>Oh nothing just posting mmmmmm to bump it</p>

<p>Though I think you might have a shot at both of those school it might hurt you if you have transfered twice already. Colleges frown on people transferring again and again and this will hurt your chance at admittance.</p>

<p>Well, the reason why I left the first school was to be closer to home. The second school is fine, but I want to major in neuroscience, which is available at pitt. I put this in an essay and sent it to them. Also, I went to CC to take classes because Drexel doesnt have liberal arts classes that Pitt needs for Gen Ed.</p>

<p>My first semester is the only thing holding me back I think,</p>

<p>I am in Pitt for the spring!!!!!!!!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>The acceptance letters are rolling in...</p>

<p>Applying to NYU's College of Arts and Sciences for English/Philosophy. </p>

<p>HS GPA: 2.8 U/W
SAT: 1200
University of North Florida:
College GPA: 3.94 (Over 64 Credit hours, I will have my AA before transferring)
Major: Double Major English and Philosophy
Minor: Art History</p>

<p>1) Two awesome letters of rec
2) Not a lot of extracurriculars, but I did work.
3) Will have AA after this semester, and will have completed the UNF Honors program (which is an actual program that you have to take classes for!).</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are? I'm a good writer, so I think my essay is good. I am just super nervous that I won't be accepted even though I have almost a perfect GPA and professors than adore me.</p>

<p>Applying to:
USC
Pomona College
UCBerkeley
UCLA</p>

<p>HS GPA- 3.4ish, a load of EC's that don't matter anyway bc i'm applying as a junior</p>

<p>College: 3.97, will have 66 units by June
Major:Communications
Alternate:Public Relations
EC's: Clubs, Honor societies, dean's list, volunteer with film & major related orgs., and more volunteer work for community stuff</p>

<p>kinda anxious about asking the prof. about the recs. but just walking around campus, i relaize that nearly all of them still remember me and talk to me even more than they did back when i was their student. :)</p>

<p>i chance myself at pretty good, right? lol. it's been hard NOT to fool around, or sleeep a little more when school responsibilities are calling. :P</p>

<p>I think you look really strong, but I don't know a lot about the admissions board's perspective. </p>

<p>Personally, I hope they weigh the Letters of Rec and College GPA really heavily.</p>

<p>me too! lol. most of my volunteer work has only been within this past 2007 year and as a sophomore. :P blahhh.</p>

<p>i'm just paranoid bc first time around when i was in high school i didn't have a spectacular gpa so the category of universities i was looking to apply to was totally different. but I've always loved USC. And now, I can totally go for it, it's just the paranoia that kicks in that sucks >_<</p>

<p>Went on a college tour trip to Alaska-Fairbanks and Alaska-Anchorage... and came home to an acceptance letter from University of Idaho :)</p>

<p>And I just found out online that I'm in at Alaska-Fairbanks too!</p>

<p>Thanks, College Confidential!</p>
