<p>Ok so here's my list; I've met with my very successful marketing professor, who was the vice president of proctor and gamble in her early 20's, in order to get my list set up. What do you think?? What are my chances?? Any others I should consider??</p>

<p>SUNY Albany

Boston U

<p>I think you should drop a couple of reaches and a couple similar to Syracuse or the SUNYs.</p>
<p>UCLA is NOT a match for an out of state transfer applicant with those stats, especially for business. </p>
<p>Last year, UCLA accepted just 40 out of state transfer applicants, an admit rate of 11% On top of that the business program is the second hardest to transfer into at UCLA and receives the largest number of applicants from California Commmunity colleges. By law, transfer admissions preference is given first to Calif. community college students, then to California residents applying from other schools. Out of state transfers are last on the pecking order. Average GPA of transfers admitted to the business program was 3.79, but out of state applicants need a higher GPA than California residents to have a shot. On other threads you've said you currently have a 3.4 GPA but are hoping to get it up to 3.6 by the end of this semester. Unfortunately, you have to apply to the UCs in November.</p>
<p>Details of transfer admissions at UCLA:

By the way, at the same link you can see how many transfers were admitted from schools in NY. I didn't spot any transfer admits from NY community colleges, 12 applied from NYU only 1 got in, 3 from Cornell, none accepted.</p>
<p>I agree with Collegehelp: drop some of the reaches and find some more good matches.</p>
<p>In post #2 above, I meant to say "ADD a couple similer to Syracuse or the SUNYs". I left out the word "add".</p>
<p>You gave him some good suggestions Collegehelp. If he wants to be in the midwest, Indiana U and DePaul would be good matches too.</p>
