<p>I'm hoping to transfer to UVA by the fall semester of 2012, when I'll be a junior. I'm not sure I understand if I need to send in my spring semester grades or not, I read it as I don't but could someone clear that up for me?</p>
<p>Here are my stats:
College GPA: 3.71
Credits: 31 currently
Major: Economics and Business with a Chinese minor
ECs: Parliamentary Debate, Humane Society, Internet store, and I anticipate joining some business related clubs next year because I was originally a Poli Sci major.
High School GPA: 3.60
ACT: 33
I go to a top 60 school and I'm out of state.</p>
<p>I anticipate that I will get at least a 3.8 GPA next semester so if I have anywhere from a 3.74 to 3.8 GPA overall. Will I be able to stack up favorably to other applicants? What else should I do? Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks.</p>
<p>make sure you’re keeping up with the course requirements here: [Transfer</a> Course Requirements, Transfer Students, Undergraduate Admission, U.Va.](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/transferrequirements.html]Transfer”>http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/transferrequirements.html)</p>
<p>also if you intend to stay with Economics the transfer page within UVa’s admissions page ([Transfer</a> Students, Undergraduate Admission, U.Va.](<a href=“http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/transfer.html]Transfer”>http://www.virginia.edu/undergradadmission/transfer.html)) recommends you contact the undergraduate program director: </p>
<p>“While it is likely that a student will be granted his/her choice of major in the school they have been offered admission to, there are some departments(for example Economics …) that are competitive and may have specific course requirements and/or an application once the student is enrolled. Third-year transfer students considering the Economics Major are strongly advised to see the Director of Undergraduate Programs before selecting Fall courses.”</p>
<p>Ron Michener is Econ’s undergrad director. You can find his contact info on the left sidebar of the following page: [Undergraduate</a> — The Department of Economics at U.Va.](<a href=“http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/economics/undergrad/index.html]Undergraduate”>http://artsandsciences.virginia.edu/economics/undergrad/index.html)</p>
<p>I can’t speak directly on other extra-curriculars but certainly what you do in college will far outweigh what you did in HS so make sure you’re doing whatever it is that will represent the way you want to look to an admissions counselor - and don’t forget to build relationships with faculty for letters of recommendation.</p>
<p>good luck</p>
