HELP finding a college? :D

<p>so im a freshman in college right now, planning on transferring out. i have my heart set on one college, but I'm going to apply to a few back ups.</p>

<p>SOO can you guys give me some suggestions of prestigious (not ivy league status, but not random ones lol) universities that you think would match these stats?</p>

<p>HS (i think they look at these if you apply as a sophomore):
gpa: 3.6 weighted (7 ap's)
sat/act: 2050/31
ec's: varsity sports (captain one year), clubs, club officer, piano, volunteering (the usual stuff)</p>

<p>college:
expected gpa this semester: 3.7ish
units finished by end of year: 30
e.c.'s: lottsss and lots of volunteering. its big at my school. job working at local theater. clubs, im volleyball</p>

<p>I can probably get some good recs too
andd i wanna stay on the west coast preferrably, the farthest ill think of going is texas
any help would be appreciated :D thankss</p>

<p>What do you not like about where you are, and what are you hoping to get out of the place you transfer to?</p>

<p>i go to a really small religious school, and its just too much like high school. never annny parties on campus, no real school spirit, christianity is too in your face etc.</p>

<p>i just want a well rounded, diverse college where i can get the full college experience ya know? usc is my first choice, btw</p>

<p>Sounds like you are in CA.</p>

<p>What’s your major? What major do you plan on taking at your future college?</p>

<p>yes i am!</p>

<p>and im majoring in poli sci, i wanna stick with that</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna is supposed to be very strong in Political Science. Some others to possibly check into are Texas, Colorado and Washington. Best of luck!</p>

<p>Poly-Sci?</p>

<p>UT-Austin would be a good choice, and you could probably swing that with your collegiate GPA. U Washington, U Puget Sound, Reed, and U Colorado-Boulder, where Condi Rice obtained her bachelor’s degree, may also be a good option.</p>

<p>I second the UT-Austin recommendation.</p>
