Hey guys,
Just applied to UW so thought I’d start chatting. I’m a transfer from in an in state community college. Applied with a 3.74 GPA, after fall quarter 2016 I will have 68 credits, but by time I transfer I will have 93 and my AA completed (this spring). I’m a little worried since I’m taking my math/science/language courses for winter/spring 2017 so I don’t have them completed yet, but I will by Fall 2017. I’m applying for an open major (anthropology) and I think my personal statement is pretty good - there wasn’t a lot of hardship for me to talk about but I just talked about my desire to do well and how it’s evident through my AP/honor courses in high school, and my good grades in college. I talked about how I went to a community college because I was unsure of what I wanted to do, and so I could work to save money for college, and then I talked about the anthropology courses I took and how I loved them and knew that was what I wanted to do.
