I am currently a sophomore at a CC and my dream is to transfer to UNC Chapel Hill as a Junior and major in Economics. However, my situation is a tad bit complicated. I did poorly in high school, as college wasn’t much of an option for financial reasons, and now i am worried it may come back to haunt me.
Additionally, my first semester at CC my transmission in my car blew and i had to stop attending past the withdrawal date. I have since saved up enough money to fix my car, and pay my way through school out of pocket. I have retaken all of my previous courses as well.
Stats
- Intended Major: Economics
- Credits Completed: 50
- College GPA: 4.0 (Took some rigorous courses relating to major: Micro, Macro, Accounting, Calc, ect)
- Presidents list 3 semesters in a row
- High School GPA: Not good
- ACT/SAT: Wont be disclosing as Junior applicants do not have to
–Extracurriculars–
- North Carolina Scholars of Global Distinction Graduate (Rigorous intercultural program started by UNC to partner with community colleges, somewhat of a gateway program)
- Senator for Student Government Association
- Secretary/Liaison for Student Welfare Committee
- Member of Phi-Theta-Kappa (National CC honors society)
- Hourly Manager at McAlister's Deli (Worked part time throughout my entire college career)
Wrote an essay on the poor semester, all my essays are pretty good i believe. I also have two letters of recommendation (One from a Business prof, one from head of NC Scholars at my CC), both of which are solid.
If anybody could weigh in on my situation it would be greatly appreciated.
