Currently an undergraduate at a community college in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. I’m regsitered as a horticulture science major, but am hoping to transfer to pitt to pursue microbiology.
Overall GPA is 3.28 (With horticulture classes)
Technical GPA (without hort classes) is 2.95
I know the hort classes won’t likely transfer, so i am not relying on that GPA.
I have one semester of general chem (will have two after spring), introductory bio, and college algebra as far as relevant prerequisites goes. A’s in all of these.
I currently work 20 hrs/week in a hospital doing patient transport, so lots of patient interaction. I have volunteered sporadically, at homeless shelters a few times and lightly for a few years at a local nature center.
I have a strong short answer essay, i just have to figure out how to word it correctly. Had to drop out for two semesters because of a confusion bacterial infection. This is a huge part of why i chose microbiology.
Spare no feelings.
