<p>This sounds incredibly awkward but I guess I'm really asking how to use this next year to package myself most attractively for transfer admission for Spring '07.</p>
<p>I was kind of a terrible and immature high school student, never went to class, graduated with a 3.6 GPA (unweighted, no idea about weighted) and a 30 ACT. Most of my poor grades are in classes like sophmore health where I just did nothing. I took the hardest curriculum and did well in my difficult classes (5's on AP Eng Lit, Art Hist, US Gov, 4's on Physics, Stats, French Lit). I spent most of my HS time doing extracurriculars:</p>
<p>significant acting roles in at least 4 plays/year
state finalist in several team and individual events with Business Professionals of America
studio art with 2 gallery showings
summer PreCollege in Studio Art @ Pratt Institute
Legislative Internship in the state senate
worked @ least 15 hrs/week since Dec of sophmore year
2 films shown in East Lansing Children's Film Festival,
recipient of Girl's in Film Award
finalist in Wharton Center Young Playwrights Festival</p>
<p>Upon graduating high school, I enrolled as a Costume Design major at The Theatre School at DePaul University its a really selective program but I hated it. Art was something I did in high school because I didn't think I was smart enough to do anything else. I was wrong. I found my costume classes very under-stimulating and a service oriented class really got me thinking. I want to pursue medicine. I left DePaul (with v. good grades) after first quarter and will be going to Community College next semester. I'd like to take spring, summer and fall classes and transfer in in January. Is it at all harder to get in in the middle of the year? My first choice is Smith and then Wellesley and MHC, if I can't get in to any of them I'll go to Michigan State. Its funny, my mom went to Wellesley so out of rebellion I always thought "No way!" but now I see the benefits a women's college can offer and it really is where I need and want to be. </p>
<p>This semester I'm taking Honors Writing II, College Algebra and Trig, General Chem and Psychology but I'm not sure what I should take during the summer and fall. I'm also not sure how to get involved with extracurriculars while in Community College starting second semester. I'm looking for health and research related volunteer opportunities and my friend thinks she knows how we can tutor refugee children which would be really fun/rewarding but i'm not sure what's going on with that. </p>
<p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
<p>I forgot, I'm also considering re-taking the ACT (mine didn't have writing so I might have to, I can't find an answer on that) I know I had a very respectable score but I only took it once and I didn't study at all for it, and I think if I studied and retook it it might show my new dedication to academic learning? Thanks again</p>
