Good colleges I can transfer to?

Hi all! I’m a 22 year old second year community college student. I’m looking for good schools in the States that I can apply to with a reasonable chance of being accepted. Here’s some info on me:
SAT scores: 1690 (in 2012) (should I retake?)
CC gpa: 3.57
Major: Liberal Studies but hoping for Psychology
Extracurricular: Tutor, RA, Student Senate, Volunteer with a political campaign and in my town.
Right now I’m looking at Bowdoin College in Maine, any of the University of California schools, Saint Lawrence, NYU?, and a few others. Can anyone think of any similar schools I could transfer to and most likely be accepted?

  1. Can you afford these schools? I transfers get minal to no financial aid.
  2. Those SAT scores would be too low for most of the UCs.
  3. Psych is impacted at most of the UC campuses. I am unfamiliar with the other choices.
    NYU is very expensive with horrible financial aid prospects.

    You may want to target some of the schools in the south and Midwest.
