<p>so, i never thought i would be back here after my senior year of high school, but here i am. it's an addiction i guess? </p>

<p>just wondering what my chancers of transferring into UVA spring of 2009 would be. i am currently a rising sophmore at the College of William & Mary. </p>

<p>college gpa: 3.65 (3.55 fall/ 3.71 spring)
high school gpa: 3.50 (3.21 fr, 3.00 so, 3.65 jr, 4.14 sr)
SAT: 2130 (660 reading, 710 math, 760 writing)<br>
SAT II: 790 math 2C</p>

<p>ecs
(high school)
- played football 3 years/ tuba for 4, all districts, first chair, etc. cum laude, honors senior project at high school, work experience from high school, etc.
(college)
- chinese student association; hoping to write for school newspaper next semester, (too few ecs?)</p>

<p>random other factors
- essays should be solid
- teacher recs may be shaky, as i dont really talk alot in class, but i should be able to glean a few solid rec
- im fluent in english, two dialects of chinese, and spanish
- gender: M
- race: asian
- hopefully maybe getting into McIntire and being an accounting major, or Hispanic studies </p>

<p>any feedback will be great, thanks!</p>

<p>What do you not like about W&M?</p>

<p>a 3.6 gpa @W&M could prob transfer anywhere they wanted.</p>

4

<p>If you apply to the college of arts & sciences, you will get in. McIntire is a bit more difficult, but you'd have a solid shot.</p>

5

<p>I say you're in too. Why do you want to transfer away from W&M?--Just curious.</p>

<p>thanks guys, this is positive news.</p>

<p>as far as why i am transferring, it's more of me liking UVA more than say, disliking W&M. im probably going to major in accounting, and think that mcintire has maybe a better reputation than mason, esp in that field. plus, UVA a bit closer to home :-D</p>

<p>Nothing wrong with being close to family. Good luck.</p>

<p>Oh so McIntire attracts you to UVA.. If you do well in business/math-related classes while at W&M, your chances are better.</p>
