Hey I am currently a freshman at University of Pittsburgh (main campus)

My high school stats kind of sucked because I didn’t apply myself
gpa 3.5
SAT CR 620 M 590 W 640

I got a 3.25 first semester of college (I am considering it an adjustment period)

Microeconomics A-
Psychology B+
Calc B (4 credits)
Astron B

but once I decided I want to try to transfer I began working very persistently and think I have a very good shot at getting a 4.0 this semester ( I know it is hypothetical but for the sake of chancing me if it “does” happen)

Stats A (4 credits)
Honors Macroeconomics A
Philosophy and Science A
Sociology A
Seminar in Comp. A

I also plan to major in Econ or Finance

I am not in any clubs now, but am joining both Finance club and Investment Banking Club (no career interest, just general interest) next year 1st semester.

I want to try to transfer for the spring semester because I heard it was easier and I will “hopefully” have a 3.67 combined gpa with 30 credits when I apply. Writing is my forte and I plan to use the summer to create a great essay.

Do you think I have any shot at all of getting into UNC? I am also out-of-state :/
