W&M Fall 2013 Transfer

<p>I’m an out of state, with a strong upward trend after a weak first semester (explaining in essay) member of the accounting society, member of the honors program, and am currently in search of an internship.</p>

<p>Just to clarify, our admission rate for transfer students is a bit higher then 20%. It’s roughly 40% give or take depending on the particular semester and pool.</p>

<p>Hi I am applying as a second semester transfer sophomore for 2014. I was wondering if I am on the right track.

<p>I will raise my GPA!</p>

<p>Extracurricular Activities:
I’ve held a part time job since I was 16 years old. (The last three years)
Elected to Senate
Phi Eta Sigma Freshman Honor’s society. (NOT A FRAT)
I was awarded a merit based scholar ship in from high school.
And, I received the Dr. Randi Koeske scholarship! This was awarded to me for, and I’m not exaggerating, being among the top 3 best psychology students at the University. (I was voted on by 5 PhDs. I don’t know if I am the “best” but I won this for being among the best. I was not able to go in person because I was working.)
I am also submitting an art supplement, and I’m going to play the hell out of my piano.</p>

<p>High School: Was not so good.</p>

<p>Is there anything I should work on or do to improve this aside from raising my GPA? And, are there any classes I should take or anything else to improve this?</p>

<p>I recently withdrew from the college (transfer to Wesleyan University for a variety of reasons) hopefully there will be a space opening up for someone on the transfer waitlist! Best of luck and have an amazing time at William and Mary. It truly is a blast!</p>
