wow. that was beyond astonishing.


i’m definitely involving myself in EC’s. at orientation, i picked out the top 3 i want to pursue and i’m extremely excited to start.
my stats are a trainwreck. 1440/2400, 3.2 gpa. i wish i could expose my college but i’d rather not. i’m looking at BU/GWU. tufts too, but 99% sure i’m only applying after two years, as opposed to the one year for BU/GWU.
the courses i’m taking are all intro to x, not saying they’re all easy but they’re the easiest courses I think I can do well in. i’m not sure i can get an A in all of them but after a horrendous high school career, i’ve been prepping myself for this fall. i’ve LITERALLY spend EVERY DAY focusing on my academics and transfer process, so I chose my courses based on my ability to achieve (and with the help of ratemyprofessors.com) and with the courses required for my major.
luckily one of my profs WORKS at gwu as well so i’m definitely connecting with her.
way ahead of you for the volunteer work: i’m volunteering at a hospital this october for six months at a well known hospital in DC.
ehhhh…hook. even if i did have one, would this go in an essay?
i’ll look into this study abroad thing for the summer. i didn’t really plan for it but i think it’s a fantastic idea for transferring sake.
same with the alternative spring break.


i cannot stress how much this guide will help me this fall.
