<p>I am a freshman at Emory University and I want to transfer to WUSTL as a rising sophomore for the fall of 2014. I really have tried to fall in love with Emory, and I erased transferring from my mind for a whole month or so, so I can immerse myself in the Emory culture and community. Regardless, I can't see myself flourishing here for the next three more years.</p>
<p>With that said, my first semester isn't looking too great. Here are the grades I am expecting this semester:</p>
<p>4 credit class - A- (worst case scenario B+)
5 credit class - A
3 credit class - A
1 credit class - A
1 credit class - Pass
4 credit class - C+</p>
<p>I am expecting a C+ in my Bio 141 class this semester, and that will weigh down my GPA so much. I am expecting my GPA to be around 3.5 for my first semester of college. I did take 18 credits though, and the max a freshie at Emory can take is 19 credits. I have also been active on campus since day 1.</p>
<ol>
<li>Club Crew/Rowing (super demanding)</li>
<li>Filipino Student Association</li>
<li>Project SHINE (volunteer group, 3 hours per week, taught English to refugee kids)</li>
<li>Unite for Sight (volunteer group, fundraising)</li>
<li>Emory Environmental Alliance (campaigned for fossil fuel divestment, spread awareness about proper waste disposal)</li>
<li>Emory Generation Response Magazine (wrote articles for issues that came out this sem)</li>
</ol>
<p>I was fairly active in all my clubs, and I am not just listing them down here to look good. I am surprised I managed to do okay this semester with all of my commitments (maybe not so much in bio class).</p>
<p>In high school I was in the top 10% of the student body, and I graduated with a 3.95 weighted GPA. I forgot what my unweighted was, maybe 3.7, I don't know. I was also active in high school with varsity lacrosse, theater, and out of school volunteer work. My SAT was terrible so I took the ACT instead, and I got a 28 which I know is not very impressive.</p>
<p>I want to major in political science or international studies, though right now I am leaning towards double majoring in political science and Arabic. Emory doesn't offer Arabic as a major.</p>
<p>Do I sound like I have an okay chance at getting into WUSTL? I know as a rising sophomore applicant it won't be so easy.</p>
