Do you know if colleges take into consideration your fall semester grades of your sophomore year or do they just look at the mid-semester report? This is the first time in my life that I’ve gotten straight As so I don’t think I can go back to anything less. I’m hoping I’ll have a cumulative of a 3.7 after my fall semester.
Does the recommendation have to be from a professor or can it be from a staff member at school? My old boss from the housing office absolutely loves me and I was thinking he would definitely be a good person to ask for a recommendation, but since he’s not a teacher he wouldn’t be as credible.
I know the key to writing a good transfer essay is learning as much about the school as possible, but do you have any suggestions on starting the writing process or anything I should try to focus on as I write it?
Thanks for all your posts! I just woke up and thought I’d check the thread to see if anyone even viewed it much less replied! any information is very much appreciated!
I’ve knocked my list down a little since. After reading the Undergrad B-School Rankings I have decided to take out Brigham Young because the student population is 98% Morman, Brown because of their strong Jesuit values since I attended a Jesuit high school and it wasn’t for me, and I think McIntire is quite a reach.
