UNC to UVA...you gotta help me out.

<p>I'm thinking about trying to transfer to UVA for next fall. I'm currently a freshmen at UNC, but my family lives in VA so I'm in-state. So far in college, this has been my resume:</p>

<p>-3.82 GPA</p>

<p>-First semester schedule: Intro to Comp. Politics (A-), English 102 (A-), African American Studies (A), and LFit (a required health class, A). I also took World Regional Geography as a pass/fail and passed.</p>

<p>-Total of 13 credit hours</p>

<p>-Played intramural football, applied to be an R.A., ran for student Congress (unelected)</p>

<p>-Currently hold a job at an ice cream store on campus</p>

<p>-Next semester: Econ 101, Arabs and the West First year seminar (FYS are special smaller classes that are taught by better professors, offered only to freshmen), Major American Authors, Film Analysis, Roman Emperors First year seminar</p>

<p>In high school:
-4.5 weighted GPA on 5 point scale
-6 AP classes
-5 on AP English Lit, 4s on AP English language, U.S. History, Psych, and Environmental studies, 3 on AP Government
-Almost all honors classes
-92 out of class of 488 (top 20%)
-1310 SAT
-Did not take SAT subject tests
-Indoor track, outdoor track, football
-Officer positions in Spanish Club and Investment club
-Coached track at a middle school
-lifeguard
-participated in Younglife
-student government representative
-Spanish National Honor Society
-30 hours community service</p>

<p>Also, I'm a Hispanic student and I was rejected when I applied to UVA in high school. Could I get in as a transfer? Also, what extracurriculars should I do next semester to add to my application?</p>

<p>I’m sure you’ll easily get in. A 3.82 at UNC-CH is very well-respected. Just write good essays and not some generic I want to go to Virginia because that dome, rotunda thing is pretty.</p>

<p>Virginia made a mistake when rejecting you. They will be more than happy to correct their mistake should you apply to transfer there.</p>

<p>thanks! I appreciate the support. I’m really hoping I’ve got a shot.</p>
