<p>Hey, I'm applying to Harvard as a Sophomore Transfer from the University of California, Irvine with these stats:</p>
<p>High School :
3.2 UW w/ a total of 10ish AP classes taken
2017 SAT I , 800/730/630 Math II/US History/Biology SAT IIs</p>
<p>College Stats:
DNA TO ORGANISMS BIO SCI 93: A
SAFETY AND ETHICS BIO SCI 194S: Pass
HUMANITIES CORE LEC HUMAN 1A: A
HUMANITIES CORE WRT HUMAN 1A: A-
GENERAL CHEMISTRY CHEM 1A: A+
Which gives me a 3.93 , and i made dean's list, which probably means nothing to Harvard, but w/e. I am very confident that I would be able to maintain this GPA or higher next quarter, since my classes are essentially a continuation of this</p>
<p>College ECs: Quiz Bowl, Have been working in a lab that studies the period of Late Life in organisms, with focus on Drosiphila (Getting Credit for it next quarter)</p>
<p>High School ECs: Debate Team (co-captain), Academic Superbowl, Freshman Mentor, Volunteer work</p>
<p>Awards: 12+ Debate Meet awards, Debate State Quarterfinalist, AP Scholar w/ Distinction, Science Olympiad, etc.</p>
<p>I'm fairly confident I can secure good recommendations from my professors (though I'm not all that chummy w/ them, but they know me tho), and my essays will be good (not being arrogant, just saying). It goes without saying that my high school record is a complete mess, but I'm hoping to impress upon them that I kinda got the kick in the ass I needed to start working in school, and would probably discuss this in one of my essays (if given the opportunity). I would welcome what you guys think, or if you have any suggestions in general. I'm really quite intent on transferring only this year, not next year, b/c I think that's a bit too late for my comfort. Thanks a lot!</p>
