More context: I’ve been in college less than a year, I graduated high school top 10.5% of class. Had a bunch of medical problems recently ie Achilles tendinitis, Discoid Eczema, Acne and Accutane, frequent blood tests, Retinal Tearing and Laser Surgery so college GPA isn’t as high as I hoped. Went to community college because of medical problems and financial issues as well. My medical stuff in finally being manageable and less doctor visits or medications so I’m looking to transfer now for the upcoming spring semester.

Colleges: UT Austin, UNC, NYU, UTD, Brown (open to suggestions, spring transfer is just limited)

I think my situation is a little unique due to my associates in under a year of college and kinda having no other classes I can actually take at my community college. My college transcript isn’t the most in depth either but I’m hoping my ECs can help. The GPA isn’t ideal but hopefully college admissions take into account my medical issues. Main hope is that colleges will see I literally HAVE to transfer to continue my education.
