Hello, I need transfer advice

Transfer Students

<p>Right now I'm at a community college, and almost have my associates degree completed. Therefore, the time for me to transfer is nearing!</p>

<p>I would really like your feedback to help me gauge what schools on my list are reaches, super reaches, matches, and safeties. </p>

<p>I am majoring in art, specifically painting. </p>

<p>I will have about a 3.75 gpa (half of the classes I took were honors) when I transfer, and I am a member of the honors society and honors program. I am also a member of the book club, work part time, and volunteer. </p>

<p>My H.S. GPA was a 3.0. (because of extenuating medical condition)</p>

<p>I want to stay in illinois, and so far the schools on my list are:
SAIC
U of I Urbana-Champaign
Loyola
Depaul
Northwestern
University of Chicago
Knox
Roosevelt University</p>

<p>What are your test scores? Your GPA seems to be fine for those schools.</p>

<p>U Chicago does not have a well developed Art program, compared to the rest of its majors. Have you actually done research about Chicago? It is one of the most rigorous, intellectual colleges in the US. You have to take 2 years of Core classes in the Liberal Arts, regardless of your major's requirements.</p>

<p>Um.. thanks, and yes I have done research about it.</p>

<p>What are your test scores? From what I've heard, you don't have a chance at Chicago or Northwestern unless you have a 4.0 from a CC.</p>
