I'm a freshman with around 60-65 credits more or less (including AP exams) from UTRGV hoping to finally go to my dream school. Didn't even bother applying as a high schooler because of a terrible rank from a competitive, medically-inclined high school (Top 30%).

I'm planning to apply veeeery soon for Spring 2017. These are the classes I took my freshman year of college:
• Gen Bio 1 & 2
• Gen Chem 1 & 2
• Gen Physics 1 & 2
• Political Science 1 & 2
• Elementary Statistics

Institutional (UTRGV First Year): 4.0
Overall GPA (including dual enrollment from HS): 3.5

I improved a lot since high school. UT will be asking for a HS transcript to check for Foreign Language credits but I don't think they'll consider my rank or SAT/ACT scores. I'm not intellectually inclined BUT I work hard to get all A's.

I'm also a Pre-Dental student hoping to transfer to UT's College of Natural Sciences, and I'm actually certified in Dental Assisting, shadowed several dentists from different specialties, volunteered for dental/non-dental community service, etc.

I'm confident I can make great essays. I am also an English minor here at UTRGV, and LORs are no biggie. I am a good girl/student hehe. I just want to know if my chances are high up there, because I am a Longhorn at heart.

Also, I'm Asian. Idk if that's irrelevant or not, but I know UT is big on diversity but yeah.
