<p>Hello! I am planning on transferring from Mercy College to Fordham University for Spring of next year. This spring was my first semester and I got A's in all the classes I took, so I have a 4.0 gpa. The head of the English Department at my school read some of my work (after two English Professor's told her about me) and upon her recommendation and insistence, I will be in English Honors next fall, (English is my Major by the way). My HS transcript and SAT scores were not great at all, which I am afraid will hurt my chances of being accepted into Fordham. You see, for the three years in hell...I mean High School, I was severely depressed and I think it's pretty apparent on my transcript
because I started off brilliantly and then suddenly my grades just plummet. Add being bullied by at least eight typical HS girls, and you can imagine what I felt like.
Anyway, I've always been a writer and in High School it was always that class I excelled the most because it was almost like an "out" for me at the time, so it was intensely comforting. This summer I will be joining a three week writing program at Columbia and I have done a lot of other EC's both in HS and College. I work super hard so I am pretty sure that next semester I will do as well as I managed to do this semester. I believe I will have 28 credits by the end of this year.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Any chance in hell? Lol. I mean, with an "average" HS transcript and SAT? I'm not sure how heavily Fordham will weigh the two. </p>
