<p>Hi, i'm looking to transfer into UPenn CAS from Davidson College in NC, where I am currently a freshman.</p>
<p>i had a 3.43 GPA this past semester, which doesn't sound that great, but since the average GPA of freshmen is a little below a 3.0, i'm probably around top 10-15% of my class. Davidson is pretty tough, however i dunno if too many people know that.</p>
<p>my college classes 1st semsester included:</p>
<p>Econ 101: B+
Anthropology 205: B+
International Politics 141: A-
Philosophy 160: Pass (took it P/F)</p>
<p>high school:
2280/2400 SAT, (730 verbal, 750 math, 800 writing)
GPA: 88/100 (I did alot better in college than in high school, relative to classmates- also, my high school is pretty prestigious, the top 10% all go to ivy's, and people down to the top 3rd get in, some even lower rank)</p>
<p>AP Scholar with Distinction
National Merit Commended Scholar</p>
<p>EC's
Wrestling- (NCAA Div. I letterman-i wrestled this past year-, in high school: Conference Champ, 2x prep state placer, state national team member)- I will also try to walk onto Penn if i am accepted, however they're pretty good and probably won't be actively recruiting me</p>
<p>i also did alot of scientific research while in high school, spent 3 summer working in chemistry/nanotech lab, along with a hematology lab and a genetics/pathology lab. I was listed on a co-author on a paper published by the pathology lab this summer. </p>
<p>Volunteer work: i received a Presidential Gold Volunteer Service Award, for providing over 300 hours of community service my junior year. This included mostly unpaid research, but also special olympics, home repair, etc.</p>
