Best transfer schools where highschool doesn't count?

Transfer Students

<p>I'm about to become a sophomore so if I transfer I would transfer as a junior. The reason why I want a list of schools where highschool either has NO effect on my transfer or VERY LITTLE, is because since going to college I have been doing much better.</p>

<p>HS stats -
2.9 GPA, 1600 out of 2400
did a bunch of extracurriculars etc
went to University of Tampa</p>

<p>UT stats -
3.87 GPA after freshman year... not really sure what else to list?
Dean's list and member of P.E.A.C.E club?
am working in the Belgian ministry right now (I am Belgian by citizenship and went to international schools my whole life, which is why I came to the US for college)</p>

<p>EDIT: I am looking at schools which have good/decent philosophy programs</p>

<p>Try a search of this board. Many have had this question before.</p>

<p>I already tried a search but Ill do another one</p>

4

<p>Wait, are you transferring from UT-Austin? How’d you get in with a 2.9, dude?</p>

5

<p>no University of Tampa (read original thread)</p>

<p>I’m so tempted to go back and edit my post. Kidding.</p>

<p>I’m applying to American University/George Washington University and I’m pretty sure both don’t require high school stats after 24-30 creds. Maybe they have a decent philosophy program? I dunno.</p>

<p>Just find the schools you’re interested in and check out their transfer admission sites.</p>

<p>Only interested in top 20 ug schools nationwide, if it’s not top 20 then I’d rather stay where I am… Does that help narrow the list down??</p>

<p>Basically, here’s a list of schools which I am interesting in looking at the transfer process for juniors provided that they do not care very much about or preferably not even look at highschool stats.</p>

<p>Vanderbilt, USC, UCLA, UVA, Berkeley, Brown, Emory, Cornell, Dartmouth, WUSTL, PENN</p>

<p>and then I doubt these three don’t care about highschool but I’ll add them anyways, Columbia, Yale and Stanford</p>

<p>Vanderbilt is a good choice. I would retake your SATs, though.</p>

<p>wouldn’t it be weird though if I took the SAT as a sophomore?</p>

<p>I took the SAT as a sophomore since I decided to transfer colleges. I don’t think it’s too uncommon among transfers. Of course it was awkward taking a test with young high schoolers, I felt a bit out of place, but nothing I couldn’t get over- getting into a good college was much more important than feeling out of place for 5 hrs. And once the test gets going, no one is even paying attention to other people. Retaking the SAT didn’t work out well for me because I didn’t improve much, but it has been very beneficial for others. I took the ACT after studying for maybe 10 hours in total and ended up getting a grade that was much better than the equivalent on the SAT. I’d give the ACT a try, or at least check out a book or some sample questions…it seems to overall be a fairer test.</p>
