<p>-in-state, currently at university of colorado boulder w/ scholarship
-29-32 credits depending on if i want them to see me high school transcript
-classes are chemistry&lab, biology&lab and co-seminar, english, and ceramics
-highschool gpa 3.9 uw and 4.4 w, 26 ACT</p>

<p>i applied last year for biology something and was wait listed and then got in, my friend got in right away as undecided with a 27 act and a 3.5 w 3.uw something like that</p>

<p>so my question is…

  1. do you think i have a good chance of admission? with the same major or should i go to undecided
  2. since ive already applied does it look bad that i do it again?
  3. pretty obvious, but could i possibly just rework my old essay or do they keep it on file?
  4. should i go with 29 credits or 32 depending on if i want them to see my high school transcript if its strong enough?</p>

<p>thanks so much:))</p>

<li>Since you were borderline, everything depends on your GPA this semester. It is the only college credit they will have to augment your high school record. Apply for whatever you want, if you have less than 60 hours they’ll offer General Studies if your primary choice declines your application.</li>
<li>No, they don’t care.</li>
<li>I doubt they care if you reuse it, but now that you are in college your essay should reflect that experience. Transfer essays specifically ask for your reason for transferring schools.</li>
<li>That depends on your college GPA.</li>
