<p>I am currently a freshman at the University of Miami in the biomedical engineering department looking to transfer for the Fall of 2008.</p>
<p>From Ohio, biracial (American/Indian)</p>
<p>My high school stats are:
GPA UW-4.37
GPA W-3.98
ACT-30
Rank-1, Valedictorian
IB Diploma
Good EC’s and volunteer work</p>
<p>College stats:
GPA first semester- 3.94
Provost’s Honor Roll</p>
<p>Involved in the Biomedical Society, Surfrider, Green Peace and Project Lead Serve</p>
<h2>I think my reasons for transferring essay is pretty strong and my college recommendation should be pretty good</h2>
<p>I also have a few questions, last year the admissions office of BU contacted me about 2 weeks before their application deadline telling me that if I applied I’d be eligible for their full scholarship (or something like that I dont quite remember), I found it very bizarre and didn’t apply because at the time I was interested in architecture. My question is will that help me at all? Or might it hurt me because I didn’t end up applying…?</p>
<p>My other question is is there any chance for a transfer student to get a merit scholarship? I have a feeling I already know the answer to this questions but I’m just wondering…</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
