Me: took a 9 month trial-contract with a professional soccer team in Spain right after HS, didn't cut it and moved back to the US playing lower level professional soccer for a few years (USL-think A/AA baseball), got something like 13 varsity letters and was an all-state soccer player back in HS, realized I wasn't good enough to make it to the big time so joined the Air Force reserves to pay tuition (spent a year away @ basic/tech school - graduated w/honors 99% testing/99% fitness of all graduates) and here I am...</p>

<p>current ECs: research in a marine bio lab looking to be published some time late 2013, volunteer at a low income health clinic, monthly AF drill weekends, club soccer, physics tutor</p>

<p>reason for transferring: the state cut the scholarship funding promised to Military personnel so I'm out 9k a year in scholarships looking fwd... </p>

<p>Getting a great LOR from a Chem teacher who is psyched I just scored in the 100th percentile on the ACS final exam...next highest in class of ~80 was 94th percentile</p>

<p>I’d add a couple of safeties considering that all of those schools are very competitive and that your 3.3 HS GPA won’t be doing you any favors.</p>

5

<p>I don’t think it’s magic that your GPA went from 3.3 in high school to 4.0 in these colleges. They are non-competitive and your GPA at them is not a good indicator IMO (this is further evidenced by your low SAT score).</p>

<p>You may not get into any of them as a transfer, but UNC Chapel Hill doesn’t seem like a bad bet. You should add more realistic places to your list.</p>

<p>will a 3.3 HS gpa from 8 years ago matter to adcoms? I was obsessed with soccer back then and parlayed that into a year spent in a youth academy for a pro soccer team in Spain. Figured my hooks were fairly interesting…will toss U-Miami into the mix</p>

<p>Make sure you check that you’re eligible to transfer. I’m not too familiar with that. Good luck!</p>

8

<p>yeah that’s not an issue…already checked w/all of them…not unusual to get military people starting later in life which is where I lost time on top of playing pro-soccer for 4yrs.</p>

<p>Also UPenn-LPS caters to us old people specifically so applying through them instead of CAS directly.</p>
