<p>I'm looking to transfer out of Boston University. I want some place smaller, community/family-feel, a classic college campus, perhaps good athletics, good academics, etc.</p>
<p>I like Villanova a lot, I want to know other places that are like Nova in the general feel of it, the size, and the campus. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Freshman (completed one semester so far)
GPA: 3.15
SATs: 1880
I think that my low GPA is due to some grade deflation here - my high school gpa was 3.6
I'm in the National Honor Society and have done plenty of community service.
I got into Union College, Dickinson, and UConn when I first applied to colleges</p>
<p>You could apply again to the three colleges that admitted you.
Other colleges could include Lehigh, Bucknell, Gettysburg, Fairfield, Providence, Ithaca, Marist, Fordham (I have a distinct feeling I already replied to this thread with these suggestions though… have you posted before? )
Gonzaga is a great idea indeed. Perhaps Willamette, UPortland, and UPuget Sound?</p>
<p>What motivated you to choose BU at first (since it is not small, doesn’t have a community/family feel, no classic college campus or athletics…)? Are you still looking for these first criteria?</p>
<p>Going from 3.6 in high school to 3.1 in college is fairly normal, it’s harder to get A’s in college and there’s no “weighting”. </p>
<p>Not sure what it takes to transfer in but you can look at Fordham, Marquette, Providence, Loyola-MD, Fairfield, Lehigh, Marist, Tulane, UMiami, to name a few… </p>
