3.92 GPA: Personal Statement

My last few years of high school, I have thrived on challenging myself academically. I will graduate this May with not only a high school diploma but also twenty-two college credits. My senior year I completed nine college credits the first semester and I am currently taking six college

My number one goal for this semester is to maintain my 4.0 GPA. In regards to this class, I not only hope to work for the A, but to come out of this class gaining some valuable knowledge on the subject. As a non-science major, I would be really proud of myself If I do well. To reach this goal I would have to study hard and make sure I save some time to really focus on these labs. The same goes for my other 4.0 goal, I need to work on time management and improving my study habits. All this while trying to maintain a social life, will not be easy in the slightest. I will definitely have to work for it but as long as I keep up my determination, it can be achieved.

I have always succeeded in all of my courses with high marks, earning a place in the National Honor Society. I have been in accelerated English, math, and science since eighth grade and took my first Advanced Placement course in tenth grade. Midway through tenth grade, I made the decision to graduate early considering my senior year would be very minimal in course work. To graduate early, I took economics independently last spring and challenged the U.S History and Government course. I am currently taking thirteen credits in college courses and going on clinical rotations three times a week in the hospital through the New Vision Medical Program.

GPPA program provides me a guarantee admission for my future education in Nursing. As a GPPA member, I will keep my GPA above average during college years, and do my best to make a steady progress academically. Nurse anesthetist is my dream career, I would like to take the risks and complete any recommended courses to pursue my goals. becoming a member of GPPA program will offer me a considerable opportunity to complete my Bachelor's degree in Nursing and helps me achieve my goal with higher level educational content.

I am currently in my second semester at Ivy Tech Community College, and I am getting ready to take my TEAS placement exam to gain entrance into their Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program for the fall. In my endeavors in both high school and college, I currently hold a 4.0 GPA and will have 36 credit hours (15 transfered from high school) once spring semester is over. Yet not only do I endeavor into getting good grades, I work at Meijer at the bakery for at least twenty hours each week, and attempt to volunteer and participate in extracurriculars as well. Currently, I am a member of the Phi Theta Kappa Honors Society, participated as a senator in the Lawrence campus student government last semester, and was a finalist at the Ivy Tech Speech Competition. Outside of Ivy Tech, whenever I am available, I volunteer for Young Innovator’s Quest which aims to provide students opportunities to explore STEM (science, technology, engineering, and medicine) with research and other interactive opportunities.

I feel that my GPA is not indicative of my current academic strength. During the first two years at the University of Illinois, I struggled to adapt to a new education system and a different cultural environment. However, in the following years, I excelled within the classroom. Despite originally declaring myself as a General Management major, I pushed myself to take more data driven electives. As a result, I was able to graduate with an additional Business Process Management major.

I am appealing the admission decision on my transfer application because I feel that my GPA from my previous university, Georgia Institute of Technology, does not accurately reflect my potential at Florida State. There were extraneous circumstances that affected my GPA at Georgia Tech, and I feel my test scores and high school performance show a more accurate representation of my performance as a student.

As a former student of Georgia Southern University, I’ve earned a grade point average of 3.4 while working two jobs and volunteering in various student organizations. Throughout my college career I maintained good academic standing admitting me into the honor society my junior year. I did not have the financial resources to continue school and advance my education, however I joined a Big Brother Program that enabled to mentor and teach at risk juveniles in the local area. Outside of the Big Brother Program, I taught boxing to at risk juveniles that sought an outlet from the troublesome environment that has become a part of their upbringing. Psychology is the major I’ve selected and placed my heart into, because I want to apply my knowledge

I would like to explain my previous GPA at Temple University. While attending Temple University I lost my home so I began working two jobs to try to maintain. During this time, I got pregnant with my daughter and her father left me to handle all of these responsibilities alone. I was working two jobs, going to school, and preparing for life as a single mother. I became overwhelmed with everything going on around me. I tried to keep up with everything but unfortunately my grades suffered. I became consumed with my new responsibilities as a single mom. Trying to juggle school, work, and a child is extremely difficult especially without a support system. I was determined to push through but at the time I didn't know how balance these new challenges

I was not able to achieve a 2.5 GPA because money was the problem. I been worrying about it since college started. I didn’t want to take loans, but loans were the best option for me. Paying loans made worry because I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pay it back. I felt bad that my parents were helping pay for my college, and I constantly look for scholarships that can help me pay for college. I been to stress out about paying for college, it didn’t make realize that I should work hard in college. In addition, the transition from high school to college was a big transition from me. First term of college was one of the hardest term for me. I took college too lightly and slacked off. I did not study as much as I should and did not go to the library to study. Instead I went out to hang out with friends and played games. I

Obtained a 4.22 GPA for the first semester of my senior year. Increased my cumulative GPA to above a 3.9. Will be Inducted into the National honor society for the second year in a row at the end of the year. Maintained honor roll throughout my entire high school career, including my senior year thus far. Actively participated in key club during the first semester. I also volunteered weekly at the local elementary school packing food for underprivileged kids to take home on the weekends. My Quiz bowl team and I have also been practicing weekend for our upcoming matches against rivaling schools. After school, I have been leading the workout for my rugby team because that is one of my duties as captain of the

Even though I would like to continue studying while maintaining high GPA., I decided to take military service after last semester. The reason is because my father with his annual income cannot support whole family members since I have two more siblings who are a university student and a high school student. I would like to reduce the burden on my parents. They are always financially distressed and have hard time because of me, but they do not tell their financial problems to me. It is afflicting and painful to look at the circumstance. Doing part-time jobs with leave of absence from college is impossible anymore. Before I knew various scholarships of SUNY Korea, there was no suitable way to continue my academy. Fortunately,

I did not achieve the high score in some of the courses, and I would like to bring the attention to the background of my GPA score. The current GPA score does not accurately reflect my knowledge level. In these courses, the professors believed that an ‘A mark’ reflects the highest level of knowledge and can only be achieved by those with experience in the field. Thus the highest possible grade for students was set at a B. If granted acceptance, I will prove that my abilities and knowledge in these courses are on par with my peers or higher.

Specific-Raise my GPA to end the fall semester with a GPA of a 3.7 or higher
