Help me transfer!

<p>I am currently attending a community college and have a 3.8 and my ecs involve children charities and such I as well have a good traveling background, I'm applying next fall but want to know what else I need to do to improve my application????</p>

<p>College: 3.8 junior transfer
ECs- charity work
High school gpa: 3.2
sat: low, should I retake them or it isn't really considered?</p>

<p>Should I be involved in student government or get an intership? I will have good recommendations and a very strong essay? I feel inadequate due to my low high school work.
I am applying to of course the uc's and state schools but was wondering about nyu, Georgetown, other east coast privates?????</p>
