Hey y’all~
I tried putting this in the transfer forum too, with no avail. So maybe someone can help me here.
Carolina is absolutely my first choice. It was the only school that felt like it fit when I visited. I’m in love with it, so I want to do everything in my power to try and get there.
Now, I’m a second year student at a UC. Unfortunately, my first year GPA is abysmal due to illness. I know for a fact (now that the illness is under control) that I will do better this year. My question is, what, apart from doing much better this year, can I do to “make up” for my terrible first year?
I know that especially for out of state transfer students, it’s going to be very difficult to get in. I was thinking of writing about my circumstances in the “additional details” section, as well as explaining why Carolina is my first choice. Would that be too much for only one section?
