NEED Suggestions of two schools for transfer list

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello College Confidential, I am a rising Sophomore at the University of Connecticut looking to transfer out. Feel free to pm me if interested in the specific reasons. As of the end of my Freshman year I received a 3.75 with 30 credits as a political science major. I plan to transfer at the end of my sophomore year which would allow me to enter the new university my Junior Year.
High school Gpa: 3.5uw, 3.7w with 3 APs and plenty of honors
Top 10 ranked NJ public school
SAT:1200/1600, 620cr, 580 math, 600 writing
ACT: 25
URM African American Male (If that matters)</p>

<p>As far as finances go I would be able to afford about 30,000 grand tops and if I do not receive enough aid I will remain at my current institution. From the list I have so far the majority of them meet full need although i am unaware if that remains true for transfers. But i did make sure to check that financial aid is still available and offered for transfers.</p>

<p>I would really appreciate any advice or suggestions( I would prefer a smallish school and on the east coast). I plan to finish my sophomore year with at least 60 credits and with the potential to raise my gpa up to a 3.88 which i will try my hardest to do. Thank you so much to everyone taking the time to read this I really appreicate any input.</p>

<p>If it helps these are the schools I was accepted into as a Freshman applicant: University of Maryland CP, Drexel, Temple, UConn Storrs, Penn State UP, Hofstra, Pitt, Syracuse, James Madison, and Rutgers New Brunswick.</p>

<p>Most colleges and universities do not have good aid for transfer applicants. This means that realistically you are limited to places that fall within your budget, or those few that do give aid to transfers. If your grades are good enough Cornell, and UVA might be workable because they have aid for transfers, but UM-CP, Penn State, etc. probably won’t be. </p>

<p>Read through each website very carefully to find out whether or not the institution offers aid for transfer students, and then run the Net Price Calculator at each website so that you can determine if there is any chance at all that the places you like can be made affordable for you.</p>

<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
