Guarenteed Admission or a Shot in the Dark

Transfer Students
1

<p>I’m very busy tying to get my life straight and planning for the future, and who isn’t? But the whole transfer process is tripping me up.</p>

<p>I’m currently a freshman at William and Mary, and I quickly found out it wasn’t the school for me, so I’ve now reset my sights on UVa (I was deferred last year from EA, then denied admission). I’m trying to plan my future around whether or not I’ll be going to UVa next year, but it’s proving a hard task to gauge up.</p>

<p>Some quick Stats</p>

<p>Midyear report:
3.70 GPA</p>

<p>SAT:
700 cr
700 m
770 w</p>

<p>HS unweighted:
~3.55
Weighted:
~4.1
Class rank:
Top 15%</p>

<p>IB diploma, some APs</p>

<p>Semi-extensive ECs in both HS and College</p>

<p>Anyways… the way I figure it, I didn’t get into UVa last year because I wasn’t in the top 10% of my class (not too bad of an assumption, nearly 96% of offers were to such people). My hope is that my strong College GPA at W&M (where 3.5 is the average self-reported UVa admitted transfer GPA) will outweigh my only slightly sub-par HS GPA.</p>

<p>Chances anyone?</p>

<p>I’d say you’re in. Keep up the same level of work @ W&M this spring so midterm reports don’t make them reconsider…strangely it only takes a 3.4 to get guaranteed admission to UVA from VA CC’s</p>
