I really need YOUR help!

<p>currently a student at Austin Peay State University.
Sophomore/ GPA:3.14/ latino/ male</p>

<p>I'm intensely interested in transferring to :
1) Syracuse (it's a reach isn't it)
2) Temple
3) SUNY-Stony Brook(a reach as well)
4) SUNY-Albany </p>

<p>My ECs are as follows: </p>

<p>High School
1) Outdoor soccer JV and Varsity for three years.
2) Indoor soccer for two years at the Varsity level.
3) High School Band for four years.
4) Marching band for two years (Drum line)
5) Volunteered two years straight at the Ft. Buchanan Autumn Festival (Christian Alternative to Halloween) for approximately six hours each year.
6) Volunteered for two years straight as a teachers aid with the Ft. Buchanan Roman Catholic Sunday School Service. The children were ages five to six, I would volunteer for a hour and a half each Sunday for four months.
In Austin Peay
1) A member of the Foster Care Review board.
2) A member of the College Democrats.
3) A deliverer for the local meals on wheels program.
4) Organized a clothing drive in my neighborhood. All of the cloths went to the Salvation Army.</p>

<p>I didn't choose these schools arbitrarily, I chose them because after you exceed a certain amount of credits with these schools you are not required to submit your high school GPA or SAT scores. That is a very good thing for me because I was a rambunctious heathen during my high school years.
I'm a political science major, and I sincerely appreciate any constructive criticism that anyone can give me. thank you so very much.</p>

<p>Ok, I still want to go, but does anyone know the teacher to student ratio, and...do any of you know of any other good universities or liberal arts colleges that have a strong political science program. By the way I don't really care about name recognition, just has to be obtainable with my stats. Thanks a lot!!!</p>

<p>Any takers??????</p>

<p>Anyone on-line:(!!!!</p>

<p>I know of Austin Peay State University very well.</p>

<p>Honestly, I think you need to up your GPA and increase your number of possible transfers.</p>

<p>Also, what are your High School stats? Asides from volunteering?</p>

<p>I am not trying to be mean, but you have to maybe look up more schools and try to up your gpa.</p>

<p>It's cool, the schools that I'm trying to transfer to now don't require high school stats once you exceed, collectively 30 university level credits. I think I have like 40. Do you attend APSU??</p>

<p>I have not researched the following regarding whether SAT's are necessary. And as a note, your high school information will be viewed, however if you have a steady increase in grades and a continuing trend in college, they will take that into consideration. Please take note that, I am unsure of your financial situation, but try and look at these schools regardless of tuition. If you try hard, you can overcome that obstacle. Now for the schools:</p>

<p>Rutgers - Have you looked here? Yes, they are a little unorganized, but they are a great school. I am sure that with your stats, you have a good chance here.</p>

<p>U of Delaware - This school is located in Wilmington (Or one of the campuses) so it is a little city like. However, I have heard good things about this school.</p>

<p>Indiana University - As long as you have a 3.0 and are wiling to pay the tuition, this school fits. </p>

<p>U of Tennessee - I haven’t researched here, but it wouldn't hurt since you are located in Tennessee. </p>

<p>Pace University - Located in Manhattan. Opportunities galore. </p>

<p>Kean University - This one is actually located around Rutgers. </p>

<p>I'm sorry if the above list does not fit your major, or criteria, but I feel these are schools that are within your reach, if not safeties. You should also mention some reasons for leaving your current institution, and where you want to head in terms of location. Good luck with your research.</p>

<p>Please comment, I'm soooo distraught!</p>

<p>Any takers???</p>
