<p>I am aiming for another 4.0 this semester. I have sent a letter of recommendation from my English professor (I had the same English professor for both 101, and 201, so he knew me best) to both William and Mary and UVA.</p>
<p>I know my High School GPA isn't that great, nor my SATs, but I really worked hard to turn it around in college. I know that colleges like to see improvement, and I really hope they see that with me. I'm not taking any "easy" classes, all the courses I'm taking, and have taken so far are considered "rigorous" correct? Keep in mind, I am transferring after my freshmen year.</p>
<p>What do you think my chances are at UVA, William and Mary, and Virginia Tech?</p>
