transfer chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Okay, I need help figuring out what my chances are of getting into a few colleges. I graduated high school 2007, went to college for business, joined the Navy in 2008 and have since decided to shift my major to physics. I'm applying to college as a transfer student for the 2012 fall semester, by which time my service should be up. I appreciate any help and any advice. It doesn't need to be constructive. </p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.34 (w/an AP class, and a minimum of one honors class per year)
HS Rank: 88/281
Math: 630
CR: 670
Writing: 660
College GPA: 2.94 overall. 2.12 (fall 07), 3.25 2nd (spring 07), 3.7 3rd (summer 09).
HS EC: 3yrs football, 3yrs indoor and outdoor track, 3yrs choir, 4yrs theater, 4yrs latin, 3 yrs latin club officer, 2 yrs dance (3 if 1yr swing dance club officer included), 1 yr christian studies club president, 1 yr german club, 1 yr volunteer work at mustang rescue farm.
Naval Awards: national defense medal, global war on terrorism medal, global war on terrorism expeditionary medal, humanitarian service medal, good conduct medal, sea service ribbon, Iraq and Afghanistan campaign medals pending. I don't think anyone's going to care about marksmanship ribbons.</p>

<p>Please tell me what my chances are at the following colleges.</p>

<p>Boston University
Penn State University Park
Centre College
Colby College
Bates College
Syracuse University
Rhodes College
Tulane University
Purdue University
Vanderbilt University
Bucknell University
Villanova University</p>

<p>I know it's a long list, but I appreciate any help if you're familiar with any on the list. Also, if anyone knows of a good school with a good phyiscs program that I'll have a shot of getting into, please let me know. Thank you.</p>

<p>If anyone could also tell me my chances of getting into Northeastern I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>None of us can tell you what your chances are because as a Veteran you fall into an entirely different category than a regular transfer would. For better guidance, pay a visit to the Veterans sub-forum. It’s under the heading “Specialty College Admissions Topics” at the top of this forum. Here’s the link: [Veterans</a> - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/veterans/]Veterans”>Veterans - College Confidential Forums) Each of the colleges and universities that you are considering also should have an admissions officer and/or academic advisor who is responsible for veterans. It is perfectly OK for you to ask the admissions office at each institution to put you in touch with that person for advice about your situation.</p>

<p>Many thanks for your fine service, and all good wishes for your re-entry into civilian life.</p>

<p>P.S. If the college/university has a riflery team, they might like someone with those marksmanship ribbons of yours.</p>
