Transfer Students

<p>My GPA freshman year was in the gutter due to my mother being ill and losing her business and having to finance my education by myself. I ended up with a 2.2 GPA by the end of the year...</p>

<p>Anyways, I received straight As this semester and I'm not sure how much that'll help my case but I'm hoping for the best. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Current School: Top 20 Liberal Arts College
Economics Major
GPA: ~3.0 (When fall grades are taken into account)
Extracurricular:
Student Government , Varsity Athlete (DIII but Top NCAA competitor), Student Organizations Finance Committee, Resident Advisor, Investment Club, Black Student Association, Women of Color,"America Reads, America Counts" Math Tutor
Fluent in 3 Languages</p>

<p>I'd like to transfer somewhere with a bigger class size, near a city, similar in prestige, etc.</p>

<p>Chances at...
Ivies
USC
Georgetown
UC Berkely
UCLA
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt</p>

<p>I know I'm reaching to far but these are my top, top choices. Any suggestions.</p>

<p>thank u
UNC Chapel Hill</p>

<p>I’m sorry about that situation, but colleges won’t be so empathetic
you will have almost no change at any of the schools… especially the ivys</p>

<p>try American University or a Cal State</p>

<p>contact the coaches in your sport at schools you’re interested in – being a recruited athlete is the golden ticket</p>
