<p>I was waitlisted when applying to Rice, Vanderbilt, and Wash U in St. Louis as a freshman engineering student. I had good to decent stats
high school GPA: 4.0 (unweighted)
class rank: 1
SAT: 2130 (750V, 690W, 690M)
Swim team Varsity Captain
Senior Editor of school newspaper
actively involved in church worship (guitar player)
Service Club</p>
<p>I took 17 credit hours my first semester of college at A&M Corpus Christi, and managed a 4.0.
I also became involved in ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), and was able to do some research with a professor on wind turbines. Do you think that these successes in my first semester of college will be enough to get accepted by any of these universities as a transfer?</p>
