If you work hard & get high grades during your first year of college, this should overcome poor or less than stellar high school grades.
In post #17, I suggested 9 schools to consider. None, save for Providence College, are an easy admit. But, if “cost is not a concern” & you anticipate being a full pay student, then you owe it to yourself to try for the best. You are in control of your destiny based upon college grades earned.
Colgate may be tough for transfer admission, but it is a great school with a very beautiful campus & setting. BC also may be hard, but worth a try depending upon your college grades.
Fordham & SMU are very good chances if you can achieve a 3.5 GPA or higher during your first year of college. Maybe a 3.4 will do, but you won’t know unless you try.
SMU has a wealthy student body who tend to be ambitious.
A lot of Bucknell students come from families who own successful businesses. Bucknell was shocked that it failed to hit its target for enrollment last year. I do not take giving out school recommendations lightly.
