<p>It has been my dream since my sophomore year of high school to attend UT Austin. Little did I know then that I would eventually want to be a business major. With a poor GPA my freshman and sophomore years (although they did improve with each year) my grades weren’t enough to get me in and I was denied from UT.</p>
<p>Long story short, I was wait listed from my second choice University of Georgia and admitted to the spring semester. So now my plan is to attend Community for the fall semester and then go to UGA. Although UGA has a good business program as well, I still want to keep on trying for UT. </p>
<p>I live in NJ so OOS admissions makes it much harder to get in. I want to know what I can do that will maximize my chances at getting in for the fall of 2013. (I have even considered applying as an Advertising major to the College of Communications because it is similar to my #1 choice: Marketing)</p>
<p>Since I am going to community the first semester its going to be harder for me to get involved with clubs and things at during the 2nd semester at UGA that I can put on my resume. I am hoping to find a really good internship, and try and get some volunteering hours in. Also, I am hoping that going to community will be a big grade booster (hoping to get a 3.9 or above).</p>
<p>Will this be enough to get in for Fall 2014?
What else can I do to make my application irresistible?</p>
<p>I will be visiting UT in the fall to make sure I really like it more than UGA. But the programs and the efficiency of travel are definitely big pushers. Not to mention the city of Austin itself.</p>
