<p>I currently attend SUNY Albany, however, I want to transfer to a better ranked university in California. I'm currently a freshman (about to start my second semester) and didn't do as well as I hoped on my first semester. I have an overall GPA of 3.27 (2A's, 2 A-, 1 B-, 1 C). I changed my major from physics to accounting and am hoping to do significantly better this semester. I'm aiming for an overall GPA of 3.6 by the end of my sophomore year and if all goes well, what schools in California are in my reach? Can I transfer to one by the end of my freshman year?
I know transferring to UC's as an OOS is going to be incredibly difficult, so what are some other schools I can look at (and are in my reach)?</p>
<p>STATS:
GPA: 3.27 (hoping to get a 3.6)
Highschool GPA: 3.2 (attended top high school in NYC with 4 AP classes)
Extracurriculars: Tons of clubs in high school and lots of job experience (Summer camp counselor, Macys employee, restaurant hostess)
250 volunteer hours
Thanks!</p>
