Possible Transfer Candidates?

<p>I'm currently approaching the end of my second semester at the City College of New York (CUNY). I'd like to get a general gauge of what schools I'm likely to get into. As a general disclaimer, I was a major slacker in High School, which explains my sub-par grades, particularly in math/sciences...It's an aspect of myself I've worked very hard to eliminate, and I like to think that I'm now very hardworking.</p>

<p>Sex: Male
Eth: South Indian, born and raised in NY
GPA: 4.0 (at the end of the semester, I should have at least a 3.7)
SATs: 730 R/ 590 W/ 490/M (that final score is the bane of my being)
APs: (5 for AP World, American and European History, 4 for English 3 and 4, and 3 for Government)</p>

<p>ECs: Officer for High School Asian Culture Club, Soundbooth Technician for Local Church, DJ and General Member for my College Radio Club, Member of High School Chapters of the ACLU and Amnesty International. </p>

<p>Courses I've taken at my school so far:</p>

<p>Intro to Philosophy
Intro to Public Policy
US Politics and Government
World Humanities
General Anthropology
Writing Composition (with particular focus on Evolutionary Anthropology)
Speech 101</p>

<p>(24 Credits/Semester Hours)</p>

<p>...these are all 100 level classes...I plan to fill my next semester with a more rigorous course load, however, at least a few 200 and 300 level courses.</p>

<p>What schools are in my range?</p>

<p>Looks good for transferring to a great school, but another semester of solid grades in upper level courses will help. Also, while you might have hated math in high school, don't avoid it (or science) now. The way to overcome that math score at the schools who will consider test scores is to do very well in an intro. college math course. And, colleges will want to see that you've excelled in a well-rounded general curriculum, including at least some math and/or science, not just in the courses you like. Be sure that you are starting to make some connections with faculty - you'll need someone to write good recommendation letters. Best of luck.</p>
