Hi i’m a 21 year old CC student at Tidewater Community College in Virginia. I’m looking to see my chances for any of these schools listed above. I’m most interested in UVA and William and Mary as i would qualify as an in state student. I’m applying for fall 2016. Currently in classes right now, should have around 55 transferable credits by the end of spring. But anyway here’s my application:
21 year old white male
Virginia Resident
38 Credits
3.84 GPA
Phi Theta Kappa
Local Community Service
Lots of political community service hours
Current job: Bartender
Scheduled political internship for Jan-Mar
REALLY REALLY good recommendations
One of those being from a congressman
My essay will also be very inspiring.
I qualify as an Independent student on the FASFA
High School Stats
2.8 GPA
Soccer, baseball, football
I never took the SAT
I would really appreciate it if someone could chance me! Thank you for your time.
Have you looked into the Guaranteed Transfer Agreement?

Your GPA is great and I believe it entitles you admission to all your state schools. You’ll have to carefully read the rules and figure it out. I think it’s required that you finish two years of CC first. You can go ahead and try to transfer now and see how it goes. The transfer entitlement can be your back up plan next year if you need more classes to complete your AA or AS.
edit: Of course this doesn’t count for Georgetown or Columbia. You’ll have to check their transfer rules. Can you pay the tuition for those two? It’s statistically harder to transfer into an Ivy league school (Columbia) than it is to get in as a freshman.
OspreyCV22 I have looked into the GAA. I will qualify for W&M, ODU, and JMU agreements. Unfortunately UVA requires 4 semesters of language, and I will not have that finished in time. Columbia and Georgetown don’t have GAA with our school unfortunately. But you are absolutely right, as it could be a great back plan if I don’t finish in time or i don’t get the desired admission from whatever school. Thank you for the reply!
hey zct0018 im in your situation I plan on attending community college out of state this year for 2 years then transferring to UVA is there a guarantee transfer??
