<p>I am a Sophmore Computer Science major attending UW-River Falls looking to transfer in Fall of 10'.</p>
<p>I have created an excel-based PDF 2 year schedule that details my performance thus far at college: <a href="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/721838/2_Year_Plan.pdf%5B/url%5D">http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/721838/2_Year_Plan.pdf</a> . I have a 3.86GPA with a speculated 62 credits by time of graduation.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I did quite poorly in High School. I received a GPA of 2.35, and a Rank of 334/441. I went to a difficult high school in Minnesota and I was caught up on the drama, the environment, and the attitude towards my education. After sliding-by my senior year, I received a 27 on my ACT and enrolled into the University of River Falls-Wisconsin.</p>
<p>I didn't mix well with high school, but I am doing quite well at River Falls. I have changed my work ethic due to my changes of lifestyle and environment. I can handle 19 credits and can balance academic life and social life comfortably.</p>
<p>I have registered to a study abroad traveling classroom in the Spring of 2010. The brief information can be found here: <a href="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/721838/ITCFlier.jpg%5B/url%5D">http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/721838/ITCFlier.jpg</a></p>
<p>I didn't have any major extra curricular activities (besides many self-motivated ones) in High School. Now, in college, I work for the IT department and participate in the Chess Club.</p>
<p>I'm thinking of either staying a Computer Science major, or switching to Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering. I'd like to go to graduate school after my undergraduate.</p>
<p>[Questions]</p>
<p>1) I'd like to apply as a transfer student to U of Illinois, U of M-twin cities, and Madison. What do you think my chances are at each respectively?
2) Anything I should be doing to prepare for my transfer?</p>
<p>Any other comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks much,</p>
<p>Amber</p>
