<p>my friend goes to queens but she doesn't like and wants to transfer. she's an english major and would like somewhere that has a strong program.</p>
<p>the schools i could think of near us (or ones that she can commute to) are:
old westbury
stony brook
hunter
fordham
lehman
columbia
nyu
the new school
pace
barnard
adelphi
hofstra
dowling
cw post
molly
pratt
yeshiva</p>
<p>so huge list, i know. her gpa and all that will probably limit her choices of these, but admissions factors aside, how would you rank them?</p>
