<p>The school you currently attend is a huge factor, so without that it's hard to chance you.</p>

<p>sorry, I attend George Mason University</p>

<p>V+M breakdown?</p>

<p>If I'm not mistaken, Casey2889 means your verbal score and your math score on your SAT.</p>

<p>Your collge GPA will help but transferring into those schools is very difficult...it's really impossible, however, for anyone to tell you definitively that you WONT get accepted.. I would apply and see what happens, certainly there isn't anything in your record that screams "NO CHANCE".</p>

<p>I would advise applying to Northwestern, UNC, WashU, Rice, and Emory. These schools tend to be much more transfer friendly.</p>

<p>Yeah, all the initial schools you mentioned are extreme reaches. I would not be surprised if you came on here and said you got rejected to all of them. I have seen it happen in other threads.</p>

<p>Verbal 660 Math is 650</p>

<p>I know they're all reaches, but i already have a few schools that I am sure I will get in. I just wanted to know what are some reach schools that are no impossible to get in. Anyone have any ideas on liberal arts schools like Amherst College?</p>

<p>Thanks for all your input.</p>

<p>did you go to tj?</p>

<p>SATs will work against you, but only negligibly. Apply to a safety or two if you're really against finishing at GMU, but otherwise your list is pretty solid (i.e. nothing out of your reach).</p>
