Realistically, what are my chances as a transfer student to these schools?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Alright, I'm currently a freshman at a 3rd tier University. I am planning on transferring next year and I'm wondering whether the schools I applied to were realistic possibilities for me. I'm hoping to go into the communications with a focus on advertising. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>College GPA: 4.0 (after one semester, I'm not sure how much this is considered by the admissions committee vs. my performance in high school)
High school GPA: 3.7 unweighted, school didn't rank
SAT: 620 math, 640 verbal, 660 writing (1920) </p>

<p>I got a letter of recommendation from my Poly Sci prof and it turned out to be pretty amazing.
I'm working for a small production company that filming a reality TV show this semester. I got one of the show's producers to send a letter to the school's on my behalf. I'm not sure how much weight it will have, but I didn't think it would hurt.
Also at the beginning of February I was hired as an opinion columnist for my newspaper at my University. I've sent out a couple of my columns to the schools I'm applying to.</p>

<p>Finally, the list:</p>

<p>UNC Chapel Hill, Boston University, Syracuse University, Emerson College</p>

<p>Thanks a lot for helping me out.</p>

<p>Great shot at BU, Syracuse and Emerson...UNC is extremely selective though.</p>

<p>OK, thanks. I wouldn't mind being admitted to any of those schools as they're all outstanding when it comes to Communications. I'd love to go to UNC but I realize that it's long shot. All you can really do is apply though, so we'll see what happens. Thanks for your input.</p>
