I am transferring!... now where to?

Transfer Students

<p>I have been planning on transferring from my state school for some time. I know I will apply to the UC's, USC, but I need some other ideas! Please help.</p>

<p>I want to go to a top 30 school. I think I have a good shot at USC but I want more options. UC's are a long shot, I am out-of-state.</p>

<p>Anyways, I am an english lit major. GPA is 3.8</p>

<p>No SAT I... never took it just cuz I didn't need to for my state school. I can take it this summer but I am unsure of how much it will help in the transfer process.</p>

<p>High school record is ok. 3.8 GPA but like one AP course and easiest schedule imaginable senior year... seriously.</p>

<p>Any advice to open my eyes to other schools and what I need to do would be great. thanks.</p>

<p>Take the SAT. Do well. Apply to UNC-CH.</p>

<p>If you are transferring as a Junior, I don't think the SAT will matter that much. But it definately helps if you have a good score. I live in IL and I applied to U. of chicago, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Emory.
If I were you, I would try out some top schools like Brown, Cornell, UPenn, Stanford.</p>
