GPA: 3.7
Course Rigor: Skipped most intro courses due to AP's and my demand to go into higher level courses. Therefore went into advanced courses right away.
Essay: Will describe my academic reasons for pursuing such, which I and others who know me believe are strong and clear, as they are the main driving force behind my desire to transfer.
Recommendations: Two very close professors who I've built strong relationships with in fields related to my desired fields of study.
