<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>Really need some advice here, and I thank everyone in advance. I'll be sure to chance back! I attend a community college in Southern California.</p>
<p>I'm currently a sophomore at a community college in California. I'm applying to all these universities to start as a Junior during the Fall of 2012. Keep in mind, my community college works on a QUARTER system.</p>
<p>College GPA: 3.8</p>
<p>Major: Business</p>
<p>**College Units<a href="Quarter%20System">/b</a>: 83 Units - I have one "W", in a class completely unrelated to my major (Philosophy)</p>
<p>HS GPA: Hard to say..I lived in another country my freshman and sophomore year. They use a different grading system. Junior/Senior GPA: Roughly 3.46</p>
<p>SAT: Took it 3 years ago when I was in high school. Not going to submit that score though. Seems like quite a few schools don't require it for junior transfers. If they do, I'll take the SATs sometime before March (before the deadline for most of these colleges)</p>
<p>ECs/Other Experience:Not a lot; I don't like to make excuses, but moving in the middle of high school was extremely difficult and left me in a long slump. I'd go to school just to get it done and come home. I tried to get involved a bit in the last year or so, as I started to adjust to things. </p>

<li>Honors Club</li>
<li>Freelance Web Design</li>
<li>Run a number of websites (for profit)</li>
<li>Run my own advertising firm that helps local businesses build an online presence</li>
</ul>
<p>My online stuff occupies a LOT of my time, and it's really a passion of mine. Been doing it for many years. Not sure if it really counts as an EC though. I'd be interested to hear what you guys think :)</p>
<p>These are the schools I'm applying to for sure:</p>
<p>University of North Carolina Chapel Hill
McGill University
University of Southern California
Emory University
Boston College</p>
<p>I'm considering applying to these as well, if you guys think I have a chance:</p>
<p>Carnegie Mellon University
Brown University
Colgate University
Columbia</p>
<p>So, what do you guys think my chances are? Any other schools you'd recommend, that I'd have a decent chance at? Most of the schools I picked have very good financial aid, and that is quite important for me.</p>
<p>If you guys would like, I can post a list of all the courses I've taken in community college.</p>
