I am currently a student at Galveston College in Galveston, TX. By the time I would start at UT in Fall of '09, I will have all of my core classes completed. I would like to get students and people who have worked in admissions opinions on my chances of being admitted as a transfer student.

My current GPA: 4.0 (and I see no reason why it should drop)
All core courses will be complete.
Hoping to be admitted into the College of Liberal Arts as an English Major.
I am a student ambassador for GC and take part in many extra-curricular activities.
I was extremely active in student activities in High School, mainly the speech and debate team, where I placed 3rd and 4th in my events and was elected vice president of the team. There are many other activities that would simply take up too much space.
I also have volunteered at the zoo and at an haunted attraction that collected food cans for the harvest food bank.
I have two very strong letters of recommendation and I have excellent skills in writing, so I am sure my essays will be top notch.

I will be taking two winter mini-semester courses (a mini-semester is during winter break and is less than a month long) so I may apply and receive an admissions decision as quickly as possible.

I am an in-state student and have a sympathetic story and background that I hope will also help me to gain extra financial aid (with the help of a special circumstances form) and scholarships.

For those who do not realize, UT does not consider high school GPA, rank, and SAT scores when considering admission for transfer students.
