I applied for spring 2019 very nervous!
So glad I found someone else that has applied too! Have you heard when we're supposed to get a letter with the decision? Do you currently go to UAB?
I heard at the end of this month and no I don't im a transfer student
I hope so, it's so stressful not knowing. This is my first semester at UAB, I transferred from a State College in Florida. What University are you at now?
I know right! My nerves are shot just thinking about it im trying to stay busy and not think about it. I go to Gadsden State Community College
Me too! I heard that they're going to take more people this semester since the new building just opened, so hopefully that's true.
Omg i hope so! How strong do you think your essay and resume was?
Same! I feel nervous about my essay only because I wasn't sure if I answered the questions completely. For my resume I have 112 hospital volunteer hours, 25 shadowing hours and 40 community service hours and a 3.56 GPA. I'm not sure what they are looking for so I'm super nervous about it. I've heard the avg accepted GPA is between a 3.3-3.6 but I don't know what they're looking for with volunteer hours. What about you?
People say my essay was good because of how i grew up taking care of my sick grandmother and aunt but i only had 70 volunteer hours that I documented but i did make sure on my resume i put where else I volunteered even thought i didnt have documentation of it sadly. But i have a 3.56 im an ambassador at my college so of course i work with the community alot hopefully they know that since my resume was only supposed to be a page long it was hard to put everything i have done on my resume im in phi theta kappa and in joint admission
I'm sorry about your grandmother! That's funny that we have the same GPA lol! I was also in Phi Theta Kappa before I graduated from my state college. It sounds like you have a good resume to me. I feel like I should have included more personal experiences in my essay but I felt like there was no way to shorten it to one page so I didn't even try. I didn't realize how hard only having one page to write was going to be. Do you know anyone else that has applied?
