<p>Also, can anyone chance me for any elite colleges that would be my shot if I go to any of these back up schools for a year and get a 3.85-4.0 GPA? Sorry, but if sophomore fall transfer will not work, I may have to settle for the Spring Soph. or Junior transfer.</p>
<p>I want to major in business after I get through my general ed. requirements first.</p>
<p>I don’t know why I didn’t add in his. Maybe later if I get accepted/waitlisted?
But what do you think my chances are for those schools I listed?
And I need my question answered for the elite question above my last sentence.</p>
<p>I know you’ll have no problem to get into SUNY Oneonta. I’m not familiar with the other ones though. and if you want to transfer, definitely work hard when you’re in college.</p>
<p>^ Can you answer this question for me too? : " Also, can anyone chance me for any elite colleges that would be my shot if I go to any of these back up schools for a year and get a 3.85-4.0 GPA?

<p>You seem like a match to all of the schools you listed. As for elite schools, even with a stellar GPA…it would be hard to gain acceptance without boosting your SAT scores by at least 300 (IF my definition of elite schools is the same as yours).</p>
<p>^ Give me the schools you were going to suggest me.</p>
<p>I’m trying out for BC, Wake Forest, and Villanova. If I’m denied to Binghamton, I’ll reapply too.
Yes, I might have to take my SAT again in college.</p>
<p>I don’t honestly know that much about those schools but I really like your extracurriculars but am a little concerned about SATs and GPA unless you can really pull those back up. Good luck though! :)</p>
<p>Well, I’m a senior so I’m going to be graduating this year. I plan to get a very high college GPA once I start in the Fall. It is only the SAT that I need to work on and retake during either freshmen or early sophomore year.</p>
