THinking about it

<p>Hey how likely is it with a 3.6 overall gpa, exceptional ecs, sat is a 1000 ( my high school record was pretty bad, 3.3) from a ca community college to get into the following schools:</p>

<p>Emory
University of Michigan
NYU
Boston College
George Washington
Bates
Colby
Wesleyan</p>

<p>Thanks for advice</p>

<p>Very unlikely at the LAC's like Wesleyan and Colby and Bates since they accept so few transfers. I would say Boston College and NYU are also probably unlikely. Emory i know is generous with transfers, but it will still be a reach. Michigan is in the 40 percent range, I think if you write awesome essays you could have a shot. I would throw some more mid-range school into the mix since most of your schools are looking for may not be sold that a 3.6 from a cc will relate to a similar gpa at their college, especially with low sats. I assume you are a junior applicant or else I would suggest thinking about retaking the sat. What about schools like Wisconson, and since you are in CA there are great UC's you could look at with a gpa like that and they will ignore your SATs- that will probably be your best bet.</p>

<p>Yes I will be a junior applicant. Yea I'm more interested in Emory and Michigan for out of state schools. As for in state schools, my uc gpa is a 3.71 (major is philosophy) and I applied to Berkeley, UCLA (Tap), and UCSD. So I'm not really worried, I was just wondering what schools out of state I would have a reasonable chance at. I'm actually looking at private universities that do not have grade deflation cuz I want to go law school, hence that is why I'm going to out of state options.</p>
