<p>High School Stats-
3.5 GPA at extremely competitive high school in North Jersey

Varsity Soccer and Lacrosse Captain
DECA Business club National Finalist </p>

<p>Currently have 26 credits as a mid-year freshman, so technically I'm almost a sophomore. </p>

<p>I am applying to: Villanova, Bucknell, Lafayette, Holy Cross, Loyola Maryland, Boston University, and maybe Trinity</p>

<p>I am also considering applying to Boston College, Vanderbilt, and Georgetown
but am concerned that I am not qualified.</p>

<p>I am looking for some advice on too what looks like a realistic school for me to get into as a transfer so that I can narrow down my list of schools to apply to. I would love to go to a school like BC or Georgetown but not sure if itss worth it. If anyone has any advice at all it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p>

<p>i'd say you have a shot for something like G'Town...high school stats are a bit low, but your college career is pretty good and they're transfer friendly...
as for BC/BU, i know one isnt transfer friend (for which it would be a reach) and the other one i know is a bit easier, but i suck at trying to differentiate the two
Villanova - match
Vandy - low reach...not sure of their transfer rates though, if its low, then its much more of a reach
not sure about the others, but from the little things i know i would guess bucknell (reach), loyola (match), holy cross (match) and have no idea about trinity</p>

<p>^BU is the easier one :)</p>

<p>I think you have a substantially very strong list of schools right there. I suggest you to try Emory too. It's a long shot..yet worth it.</p>

<p>By the way, why are you planning to transfer from Penn State...actually I want to apply for transfer there and was wondering if I should know about something that's not too great about Penn State.</p>
