@geoff1212 I’m an in state student from Northern Virginia
GPA: ~3.8 W, my school does not do unweighted GPAs (I know this is low for most engineering students)
SAT Math: 720 SAT Reading: 680
ACT Math: 32 ACT Reading: 32
My school also does not do class rank
Sophomore year APs: World History (3)
Junior year APs: AB Calculus (5), Psychology (4), English Language (4)
Senior year APs: Physics C, Statisctics, English Literature, Spanish Language
Total APs taken: 8
I also took many engineering related courses including an engineering math course, 2 engineering systems courses, and both AP physics and honors physics and got good grades in all of them.
Extracurriculars:
FIRST robotics team member
Varsity math league member
VP of a girls engineering club at my school
JV/Varsity volleyball
Key Club International Member
National Honors Society
Hispanic leadership club
I also have a paying job at a local tutoring place that offers courses and help in Math and Science. I have been working there since last June.
I am not upset that I did not get in because I understand that it is difficult to enter straight into the College of Engineering from Northern Virginia (however i think it was my GPA that held me back). I just wanted to see how difficult it would be to transfer since I know some of the rules changed from previous years and some of the old college confidential posts about this were outdated.
When you say first come first serve for the ENGE1215 course, how soon can you request to take it? And how many other students do you think are in the same boat as me and will try and take spots in that course for the spring semester too? Would it be safer just to take the course in the summer at a community college, or is it true that they do not accept credits from there anymore?
I apologize for all the questions but I am truly clueless. I tried calling the University Studies department yesterday and the lady was not very helpful. She told me that I should call back on April 1st to talk to an advisor instead…
