Need Help w/ Classics Transfer List!!

College Search & Selection
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I'm looking to transfer from Arizona State to a school with an elite program in the Classics. I went to ASU for my freshman year on a full merit scholarship, but I am in a better financial situation here. Could you help me make a list of schools I should look into with my stats? Most of the advice points me to schools like harvard, brown, columbia, etc, but I'm not sure I have the stats to get in schools like that. Also, I am trying to find some small LAC's that have great programs that I could get into (Again, not sure I have good enough stats for, say, Swarthmore). So basically, I'm just looking for good Classics programs that I have a reasonable shot at getting into as a transfer. Thanks everyone! Here are my stats:</p>

<p>3.9 cumulative GPA at ASU
1460 SAT (730/730)
National Merit Scholar
AP Scholar w/ Distinction
National Latin Exam 3 time gold medalist
2 sport varsity captain (2 years both sport)
Co-Founder and charter member of School of Global Studies club at ASU.
Founder and Editor of high school newspaper
Mock Trial
Tour Guide
AYSO Volunteer Soccer Referee (over 200 hours community service)
President of Latin Club in high school.</p>

<p>Just as a little addition to my post, does anyone know schools that offer a good concentration in classical archaeology?</p>

<p>LACs can be much more difficult to get into as a transfer than selective universities. Haverford only admitted two transfers last year, for example. Looking at the Common Data Sets should give you some idea of where you stand at each college.
