Transfer chances

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I'm currently enrolled in Suffolk university, in my second semester. I messed around to much in high school and ended up with a bad gpa (2.7), but I've learned now and improved tremendously. I'm looking to transfer after my sophomore year My first semester gpa was 3.8 and its looking like im going to have even better this semester. I'm also in the school investment, and ad club, and work part time. Some of the schools I'm looking at to transfer to are BC, BU, NYU, Colgate, Wake Forest, and UC Berkeley. What do you guys think my chances of getting in are. My main point of concern is that i'm coming from a somewhat mediocre university, so people coming from better schools might have an edge over me. </p>

<p>I appreciate you guys taking the time to read and respond to this. I'm also open to suggestions for other schools to look at, my major will probably be in some area of business</p>

<p>Im not sure about BU, NYU, Colgate or Wake Forest. However, i am a little bit familiar with BC (since I’m applying for transfer for this upcoming fall) and UC Berkley (I’m from California CC). If you can maintain your G.P.A. over your next 3 semesters you’ll be in great shape. Since you’ll be applying as an incoming junior to their schools, your high school G.P.A. won’t carry that much weight. The big thing about Berkley and the UCs in general is that you complete the major prereqs that you can find at assist.org . The Haas school of business is extremely difficult to get into (being that it is one of the best on the west coast). If you can find some sort of extracurriculars and/ or internships that relate back to your major, that will score big points for a school like Berkley. If you are interested in coming to the west coast, USC and their Marshall School of Business is as good as it gets, also check out Loyola Marymount University </p>

<p>I found the assist.org website to be very helpful, I’m going to use that for making my schedule next semester. I’ll also look into joining some more clubs, and i’ll definitely keep internships in mind. Thanks for the school suggestions as well.</p>
