I don't know what schools to apply to. What should I do from here?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Are there any good schools that I can apply to for transfer that give out reasonable aid to students in need? I'm at a complete loss of what schools to apply for my studies in the Spring 2015 semester (at the time of application I will have 32 credits completed)? I'm doing Electrical Engineering as a major.</p>

<p>Current School List:
-NYU (Polytechnic School of Engineering)
-Syracuse University
-Rochester Institute of Technology
-UC Berkeley (I'm not expecting much from this school except a rejection notice; its too much of a reach.)
-UCLA (The same as UC Berkeley.) </p>

<p>I want to apply for two more schools that I actually have a shot at, but I don't know any other ones that I am strong for. :/</p>

<p>Here are my stats.</p>

<p>School: CUNY-City Tech
Current GPA: 3.943/4.0 </p>

<p>Courses:
Calc 1 (Took in Fall 2013 semester)
Calc 2-with honours distinction on my transcript (Currently taking for the spring 2014 semester)
English Comp. 1 (Took in Fall 2013 semester)
English Comp. 2 (Taking in the summer)
Circuit Analysis 1 (Currently taking for the spring 2014 semester)
Alg. Based Physics-first semester (I didn't have a choice in the matter for taking alg based physics; Took in Fall 2013 semester)
Calc Based Physics-first semester (Currently taking for the spring 2014 semester)
Intro to Philosophy (Currently taking for the spring 2014 semester)
General Chemistry 1 OR Calc Based Physics-second semester (Taking in the summer)
Techniques of Electrical Technology (Took in Fall 2013 semester; probably won't carry any weight in my admissions because this class is only worth 2-credits and was a pre-req for circuit analysis 1)</p>

-I'm a URM
-I'm enrolled in two honours programs within my school. One emphasizes community service, another emphasizes research programs. </p>

<p>What about SUNY?</p>

I heard SUNY is stingy with Financial aid. I would like to apply to UB though. </p>

<p>If financial aid is a problem, NYU isnt known for being the most accomodating</p>

<p>@Freetofly112
NYU Poly is known to give nice F.A. and their F.A. isn’t going to change due to the merger. </p>

<p>UC’s only take Jr transfers, with priority to CCC students. They don’t give aid for OOS. The only aid you will get is any Federal Aid you are entitled to.</p>

<p>Oh? thanks BrownParent. I guess I won’t bother applying to them then. </p>

<p>Besides NYU Poly and RIT, check out the other [url=“&lt;a href=“http://theaitu.org%22%5DAITU%5B/url”&gt;http://theaitu.org”]AITU[/url</a>] schools. They typically give good financial aid to transfers and they all have good ABET accredited programs. With your grades, I am pretty sure my university, Illinois Tech would love to have you as a student. </p>

Wow 3 of the schools I’m applying to are AITU schools. (wpi, nyu and RIT)<br>
Thanks for sharing that list and I’ll look into Illinois Tech</p>
