Hey everyone,
I was in a 6 year pharmacy program at University of Rhode Island, bunch of things happened, switched my majors to economics, and everything turned out that only schools that I will be willing to attend are schools in DC and around.

HS specs(Doesn’t count because I have over 30 college credits, but for curiosity sakes):
SAT: 2070
GPA: 4.2 weighted, 3.5~3.6 unweighted?

ECs (I wasn’t very active in college, so I will be using my HS ECs):
-President and founder of a Cultural Club
-President’s Volunteer Service Award (Gold level)
-3rd Degree black belt
-2 internships (one at a pharmacy, other at a dentistry)
-Library Volunteer
-Community service hours rack up between 150 to 300 hours

College specs:
GPA: 3.79 (Dean’s list)
16 credits from HS AP credits, 30 from freshman year, and will be taking 12 in 1st semester sophomore year.
(46 credits when I apply)

Essay:
Essay on special connection to DC, related to helping the homeless + reasons for transferring (I’m a decent writer).

Additionals:
2 letters of recommendation from professors that I am very close with.

I will be applying to the following schools for spring 2017 as an BS in Economics major, transferring sophomore

1. George Washington University

2. American University

3. Loyola University Maryland

Also, are spring transfers for these schools less competitive for these schools?

Thanks everyone
