<p>Hey guys! My name is Chris, and I am just about to start my Sophomore year at George Mason University. I visited UVA numerous times during my Freshman year and accidentally fell in love with it. I hope to transfer as a third year in the fall. I was hoping that someone could tell me how I'm doing!</p>

<p>High school:
3.35 GPA (moved around a lot, went to three different high schools so I had a bad high school career until senior year, where I earned a 3.95)
Extremely active member of Key Club (120+ hours of service)
Hospital volunteer (about 50 hrs in high school)
SAT scores: 1910 or somewhere thereabouts, I actually cannot remember, but it wasn't great</p>

<p>College:
Planning to declare major in English within the next few weeks
1st semester took 16 credits with a 3.52 GPA
2nd semester took 15 credits with a 3.93 GPA
Cumulative GPA = 3.72, and I hope to either keep it there or raise it during this next semester
Did more hospital volunteering, and plan to do it year-round this year
NCSC member
Dean's list both semesters
Invited to join Alpha Lambda Delta but declined
Worked part-time job, and plan to find a job this semester
also, I do plan to join more clubs and get more active this semester</p>

<p>I haven't got my letters of recommendation or transcripts ready yet, but I do have until March ;) I'm hoping that with a lot of improvement I'll have a chance to go somewhere that I really love :) Any thoughts/feedback/solidarity would be very much appreciated! Thanks for reading <3</p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Are you aware of the GUARANTEED Transfer Admission Agreement for UVA with the VA community College system? If you were attending a VA community college as a state resident you’d be guaranteed admission after sophomore year with a 3.4 GPA or better. I know you’d feel it is a downgrade to go to CC but it’s something to consider. I’d read the link and be sure you fit the qualifications CC students must have and give it a shot. 3.72 is pretty good. Good luck. </p>
