Really need help. As a Transfer Student what is the best college I can get into?

<p>Okay guys, I am 26 years old. I went back to college 2 years ago and will graduate this year with my associates degree in paralegal studies. I originally went for an occupational major because I needed to get my foot in the door with a halfway respectable job with me being on the wrong side of 20 and all... Lol... But things have changed in my life and now I'd like to switch my major to Political Science and go to the best possible school I can get into.</p>

<p>-I have a 3.69 GPA with over 50 college credit hours.</p>

<p>-My high school transcripts are ABYSMAL. (1.2 GPA) - completely different person back then
(Keep in mind for me high school was 8 years ago so it would depend on the look back period for the college)</p>

<p>-I have never taken the SATs</p>

<p>-I have worked full time for the duration of my time at school and am a member of Phi Theta Kappa and a few clubs on campus...</p>

<p>So where should I apply with a reasonable chance of getting in?</p>

<p>William & Mary was on my radar.</p>

<p>W&M: Reach (W&M is, transfer-wise, the public version of Harvard)</p>

<p>How far of a reach? Where else should I apply?</p>

<p>Your best bet will be public universities in your state, a lot of schools look at your high school stats when you try and transfer.</p>
