Sorry I have not updated my bio at all, but I am a freshman at VCU in the Biomedical Engineering and Honors Program. I basically slacked my junior year in high school (terrible work ethic that I have fixed now) so I just missed the cut for my best instate school U-VA. I want to transfer there for my sophomore year, and I strongly believe I have the work ethic to get in and perform well there now. I have always had the ability, as I came from Thomas Jefferson HS for science and technology, just not the dedication.
It looks like my first semester at VCU is a surefire 4.0 with 18 credits, and with some more dedication (I will be taking calc based physics mechanics and differential equations next semester), a 4.0 for the year is definitely attainable. I have established myself well with research, some shadowing, and am on some committees for pre-med organizations.
SHOULD I go to U-VA? Will it hurt my chances if we assume i do reasonably well there (3.8 GPA at Uva if i work my butt off)?
