<p>I am currently a student at Houston Community College</p>
<p>As for my cultural background, I am first-gen American and my family is West Indian.</p>
<p>Basically I have decided to transfer into the Liberal Arts college as an Anthropology major for the Fall of 2010 for a few reasons.</p>
<p>1) I've taken many Liberal Arts-related classes
2) I heard it's the easiest school to transfer into
3) I can transfer to another college internally after I finalize my major</p>
<p>After checking out my latest transcript, my GPA is actually a 3.2 and I have 15 cred hours</p>
<p>The courses I have taken are:
GOVT 2301 - Amer Gov Nat/Sta/Local I
ECON 2301 - Macroeconomics
ANTH 2351 - Cultural Anthropology
PSYC 2301 - Intro to Psychology
ENGL 1301 - Composition I</p>
<p>^ These courses gave me a 3.2 GPA ^</p>
<p>The courses I am currently taking are:
MATH 1314 - College Algebra
ENVR 1301 - Environmental Science
GOVT 2304 - Intro to PoliSci
HIST 1301 - U.S. History to 1877</p>
<p>My expected GPA is a 3.4 - 3.5, but if something goes wrong, I will have a 3.3 and 27 cred hours</p>
<p>I will be testing out of Spanish for 12 credits in January.</p>
<p>I have printed out a Recommended Courses For Transfer guide for the Liberal Arts college and so far I will have knocked at least one for each discipline apart from Foreign Language and Math (because 1314 counts as an elective).</p>
<p>My intended schedule for next semester is:</p>
<p>ENGL 1302 - Composition II
ASTR 1403 w/ lab
ASTR 1404 w/ lab
MATH 1324 - Finite Math</p>
<p>I plan on getting a few letters of recs from my Anthropology prof. and maybe a Govt prof.</p>
<p>My extracurriculars include Officer of Houston All-City Orchestra since 2001, Mission work in Mexico in the summer of '06, various community services at churches, schools, day cares, homeless shelters, and hospitals, Rice University summer anatomy program, volunteering at Rice University graduation ceremony affairs since 2003, Texas Children's Hospital Health Adventures.</p>
<p>My job experience includes my current job at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, and some cafe and ice cream shop jobs, as well as an internship at Washington Mutual Bank.</p>
<p>The deadline for Fall 2010 is March 1st, and I still gotta write the essays, compile a resume, and do all the other dirty work.</p>
<p>What do you think? I'm pretty nervous about applying, but I don't want to go to any other university!</p>
