Non-Trad transfer chances to top schools

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>FAFSA: EFC 0000 - will be needing fin-aid so restricted to privates for the most part - messes w/Brown chances but its my top choice...if you have suggestions on anywhere else to apply or add (No LAC's) opinions are valued</p>

<p>Definitely Applying: Brown, Georgetown, Vanderbilt, UPenn-LPS
Maybe: Columbia-GS, Duke, Northwestern, UNC, Rice, USC-Trojans</p>

<p>Super Reaches: Harvard/Yale/Stanford (why not for fun?)</p>

<p>Stats: Non-Trad 25, SC resident, Hispanic male
College: CC(fresh) transferred->College of Charleston(soph)
College GPA: 47 credits 4.0 through this fall - (doing pre-med requirements right now @ CofC)
HS GPA: 3.3
SAT: Math-710 Verbal-630
Me: took a 9 month trial-contract with a professional soccer team in Spain right after HS, didn't cut it and moved back to the US playing lower level professional soccer for a few years (USL-think A/AA baseball), got something like 13 varsity letters and was an all-state soccer player back in HS, realized I wasn't good enough to make it to the big time so joined the Air Force reserves to pay tuition (spent a year away @ basic/tech school - graduated w/honors 99% testing/99% fitness of all graduates) and here I am...</p>

<p>current ECs: research in a marine bio lab looking to be published some time late 2013, volunteer at a low income health clinic, monthly AF drill weekends, club soccer, physics tutor</p>

<p>reason for transferring: the state cut the scholarship funding promised to Military personnel so I'm out 9k a year in scholarships looking fwd...</p>

<p>I don’t know a lot of your schools but I’d say your biggest reach is brown and the other ones are low reach or match.</p>

4

<p>main worry is will my financial need kill my chances at Brown?</p>

5

<p>Aren’t they need-blind admissions?</p>

<p>transfer is need aware @ Brown…figure between g-town, vandy, penn-lps i’ll get into one of those as I should be competitive and admit rate for transfers is 20+% for each</p>
