Im a sophmore in HS now and I've had my heart set on VT since freshman year. However, I only have a 3.0 now, because I had no motivation to do well freshman year. My grades have progressed very much though since then. I am also EXTREMLY active in EC's community service. With that, I have accepted the fact that in not going to get in out of high school, because I cant get my GPA up to a 3.7 in a year and a half. so does going to a not-so-great university, or Community college look better for transfering after a semester or a year, or 2 at the most. Also, I know about Richard Bland College in VA. And I have 2 cousins there now and 1 that graduated a few years ago, who is very active in alumni activities. And my neighbors brother works there as the head of some department, and she said she would try to have him, have them (admissions) to try and accept me. And im not a VA. resident. So, what would a better/quicker way of transferring? and would head of departments (other than admissions) have any pull on admitting someone?
yea thanks...my last report card the other day was all A's and B's and 2 high C+'s. so there deffinetly is hope lol. and I also am a PEER leader at my school and going to be VP of my class next year. and going to be a 4 year varsity starter so I guesse that would give me a little push lol
You can get your GPA up! I got mine from a 2.7 my Freshman year to a 3.7 my senior year. Just focus focus focus and do as much extra credit as you can.
Also, extracurriculars help A LOT so work on the newspaper or do plenty of sports.
