UVA Fall 2019 Transfer Thread

Applying to McIntire for Finance:

Stats:
School: CUNY in NYC, top one and known for finance
4.0/4.0 GPA- Took 63 credits, 12 in progress (relevant courses in macoeconomics, micro, intro to business, CIS course)
ECs:

• Three volunteer trips overseas
• Blockchain internship for 6 months
  -Created my own website with a large amount of writing writers (stopped working on it a year ago)
• have 300K twitter followers on accounts based on news/sports statistics
• real estate internship at big company from HS

Decent essays, but not great- based on volunteer experiences, UVA’s broader business scope, McIntire’s reputation (not in business world, but in regards to their teaching style), and how I had to be local bc of parent illness
Good rec from a communications teacher but not so relevant
Around 3.8-3.9 HS GPA/4
Not submitting SAT scores

Kinda worried that since I’ll have 75 credits, they’ll ignore me

• Also I got accepted to UVA arts and sciences last year (Spring semester), but didn't end up going

Did you just try to use twitter followers as a college application credential?
