<p>Yes, you have decent chance at all of those schools, some being more probable than others. I would elaborate but I’m hungry :)</p>

<p>your shots are really good, just make sure that your meeting the transfer requirements for each school’s department in general the school’s transfer requirements.</p>

<p>i say this because if your planning on transfer, your school record at your community college shouldn’t be major specific (ie all the finance classes and business major classes) because those might not transfer, simply because the purpose of transfer is to complete your major once your at that school. your cc record should be humanities/social sciences/liberal art classes, with the pre-reqs for the major which often fall under the humanities/social sciences/liberal arts.</p>
