<p>Hello.
I Have applied to the university of redlands and I am worried that I might not get in. i am not sure if I have a good chance. I am a transfer student and have over 40 units under my belt from a community college. My GPA is a 3.16. I am a member of student government and do a lot of activities for the school. I am also senior writer for the school paper. I got a glowing recomendation from a college counselor, one that is very hard to get a hold of because she is very important. I also volunteered for a rape crisis hotline. As for the high school, my combined GPA is a 2.6, but for the grade 10-12 is a 3.6.I was editor of my high school paper and a member of key club. I did horrible on my SAT's getting a 990. But I don't think they count if you are a transfer student. As for the essay, I am proud of it, but it may come off a bit thrown together considering I did it at the last possible minute. But it is still well liked by professors that I have showed it to. I did not have an interview and want to know if that will greatly affect my chances. I think I am a fairly good student and so far I got into san diego state but I really want to go to redlands and want to know what my chances look like.</p>
<p>One can never tell if someone can get in or not. (Besides those deciding!) That's why I chuckle at the though of this board. Your GPA is a little low (avg for Redlands 3.52) but your hard work outside the classroom will definately help you out! Good recomendations are also golden. Good luck and I hope you get in! </p>
<p>All one can do is wait.. although I'd say no worries on your part.
I've found the site <a href="http://www.collegeboard.com%5B/url%5D">www.collegeboard.com</a> really helpful. Here's what it says Redlands wants...</p>
