Doing good:
In high school I was a straight A student in honors courses and got ahead with some AP credit.
Downward turn:
sem1 of year1: 1A, 2B’s, 1C, 1F, 1W
sem2 of year1: 1B, 4F’s
Recovery:
I took 3 summer courses and got A’s in all of them, but they were at a community college, so it didn’t count toward GPA.
sem1 of year 2: 5A’s
sem2 of year2: 5A’s (I’m finishing sophomore year right now, but I’m confident this will be my grades)
Assuming I keep my trend of being a straight-A student (with maybe 1 B), what are my chances of transferring to UT Austin as a CS major? I plan on applying to transfer early Junior year.
If I have ruined my chances to transfer, do I still have decent odds at even getting a job after graduation? My poor first-year grades concern me, but I’m too stubborn to give up.
Also, I participate in band, volunteer, and participate in a club on campus.
