Transfer Students

<p>Alright so the thread from last year seems to be getting pretty lively so let's start a fresh one for 2010 transferees. Post your stats and we can keep each other updated.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone hopefully we can all be future Tar Heels!</p>

<p>My Resume:</p>

<p>College Grades
-3.86 GPA at a Florida public four year university with broad class selection including lots of mathematics, sciences, and humanities
-Applying with 52 Credits (will transfer with 61)</p>

<p>High School Grades
-2.7 unweighted, 3.0 weighted GPA
-I was lazy and an athlete who has matured and changed goals</p>

<p>Essays and REC
-Should be very strong</p>

<p>Service and EC
-Gear Up Florida cyclist - raising minimum of $2,500 and riding a bike 800 miles from Miami to Tallahassee for Push America, a non-profit that raises awareness for people with disabilities.
-Student Ambassador
-Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, holding various director positions
-Part-time job working around 24 hours a week</p>

<p>If anyone thinks I can do anything to improve my chances please let me know, I definitely could use the criteria. I know my high school grades were awful but I've really turned it around these first years in college so I am hoping it won't weigh to much on their decision.</p>

<p>There is another thread :slight_smile:
<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/847988-official-unc-fall-2010-transfer-thread-3.html?highlight=UNC[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/847988-official-unc-fall-2010-transfer-thread-3.html?highlight=UNC&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Yeah, I created this thread way before the others ones. It ended up fading to the back because I was such an early bird haha.</p>

<p>Haha, well, what’s the saying? “Early bird gets the worm but… second mouse gets the cheese?”</p>

<p>Seemed relevant. Either that or I’m exhausted. :P</p>

<p>So I’m looking at everyone’s stats and I am so nervous even though the decision is any day now. </p>

<p>Transfer as a junior for fall 2010</p>

<p>HS academic GPA: 3.11 / total GPA: 3.039
college- 3.75 (+Honor Roll)</p>

<p>My essay was very personal and very strong which I’m hoping pulls through! UNC is my number one (I still have a couple other stragglers to hear from), but I was accepted to: Loyola NO, University of Alabama, UT, University of South Carolina, UNCW, Elon, and NCSU. Any insight as to my chances?</p>

<p>Stomach is in knots!</p>

<p>thinkeasy, unc only allows fall transfers. So unless you can talk to the dean or something you would have to either choose fall 2010 semester or fall 2011 semester</p>
