Need help finding schools

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm currently a Sophmore at Univ @ Central Florida majoring in Philosophy with a minor in French. A have a GPA of 3.00 and will have around 62 credits at the end of the sememster. I'm not part of any clubs/EC's.</p>

<p>I've applied to FSU (only because it's a step up and a close friend is a freshman there) and Eckerd College because I would like to go to a liberal arts school, I could still get Bright Futures (75%) and they're generous with FinAid.</p>

<p>I've applied to New College and been rejected, so I don't want to try again.</p>

<p>I'm asking for good, preferably small (maybe even LACs) schools. The problem is that I am limited with my GPA. Any recommendations?</p>

<p>I don't mind religious affiliated schools unless it's something like Bob Jones.
Also, I don't want to graduate with in debt.</p>

<p>Reed College is awesome. Check it out.</p>

<p>The Claremont Colleges are pretty good LAC’s as well. Good luck in your search!</p>

<p>WOT’s suggestion of the Claremont Colleges is not rational. A 3.0 would not be high enough for you to have any real shot at transferring to Pomono, CMC, or Harvey Mudd (which isn’t a fit anyway). Not sure about Scripps (assuming you’re female, otherwise not an option) or Pitzer, but even those seem unlikely with that GPA. A 3.0 isn’t bad, but it does limit transfer options. </p>

<p>If you’re looking to stay in-state, maybe consider Stetson and Florida International.</p>

<p>I agree; that is too low.</p>

<p>Yeah, those LACs are beyond my reaches.</p>

<p>I’m looking for a school that’s more focused on academics rather then sports and/or parties. That’s why I mentioned that I preferred a LAC. </p>

<p>Doesn’t matter if the school is in-state or not, I just don’t want a big debt so no school with a 45k/year tuition and board. And for further reference, I’m a male.</p>

<p>I got accepted at University of Puerto Rico for the spring semester and now I’m debating between to UPR or Eckerd(which I’ve yet to be accepted).</p>

<p>I need to send a letter of recommendation to Eckerds, but since I’ve only taken basic courses, my classes have been of 200+ students. I took French this semester which only had around 20 students, but I got a “C” in that class. </p>

<p>I sent them an email about replacing the letter of rec with an interview but yet to receive an answer.</p>

<p>Anyone have input/advice? Would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Glancing through the FSU rankings concerning philosophy ( [FSU</a> Highlights](<a href=“Rankings | Florida State University”>Rankings | Florida State University) ) I’d say that would be a good move. You might see if any work-study programs are available that could help with expenses. FSU’s latest Rhodes Scholar is a philosophy major: [FSU</a> Dept. of Philosophy](<a href=“http://www.fsu.edu/~philo/]FSU”>Department of Philosophy)</p>

<p>FSU is on the top of my list but I don’t think my stats are strong enough to get in. </p>

<p>That’s why I’m asking about Eckerd and UPR, which have less info about them on the web. But I know of FSU’s standing in the philosophy standings from other posts on this web forum, but thank you for your interest.</p>
