[QUOTE="91Wreck, post: 37891, member: 680"] Unfortunately she can't transfer. Although she is a senior in high school, she has been attending college for the last two years taking all of the standard courses for an engineering degree. At the end of this semester she will have taken all of her calculus classes, diff. equations, calc-based physics, chemistry, etc. These classes are the same courses taught at Tech and are all completely transferable. So even though she technically will be a freshman in the fall, she will actually be a junior. In two more years she will almost be done with her degree in EE - so transferring to Tech won't be an option. Her grades are great - she has a 3.8 GPA with one semester left and she should finish with three A's and a C this semester. She has done this while doing competitive cheerleading and running track for her high school (the college is within driving distance, so she was able to attend classes at the college and drive back to her high school for practices). Unfortunately her SAT score is on the low side compared to the other 12,000 kids that applied. It was good enough for her to get accepted into ugag's engineering program, but not Tech. Hopefully Tech will realize that taking college classes as a HS junior and senior - all the while competing in high school athletics, is a worthy enough accomplishment to put her over the top when admissions makes their final decision.
