<p>Hello, so I just completed my first semester at Boston University and hate it. I'm looking to transfer to a school that is academically better and has more of a "classic" feel (school spirit, athltics, pride, campus, etc.) </p>
<p>I've seen a lot of threads on this site about students from lower level state colleges and cc's with extremely high college GPA's. I got a 3.4 my first semester but I feel that at a college known for harsh grading and grade deflation, I've done pretty well. Do colleges take into consideration the differences between cc's and BU? <em>Just to note, no disrespect to cc's at all, I only mean to point out that in general its much easier to get higher gpa's when your taking classes at a community college for a number of reasons</em> </p>
<p>Anyways. Here's my stats fro sophomore transfer:</p>
<p>HS:
GPA - 3.5
ACT - 30</p>
<p>College:
GPA - 3.4</p>
<p>Schools I'm looking at:</p>
<p>Florida State
Ohio State
Maryland
Penn State
U. of Miami
Tulane
U. of Washington
U. of Michigan
U. of Virginia
U. of North Carolina
U. of Wisconsin
U. of Georgia </p>
<p>I was going to apply to BC, Duke but after researching I've found that privates have much lower acceptance rates and much higher standards for transfer admission</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice</p>
