transfer chances

<p>I have finalized (hopefully) my list and need now to remove schools from it. I am likely to be an econ or math professor (or major to be later determined). I am applying for fall 08 junior standing from Franklin and Marshall College, a top LAC. </p>

<p>transfering for junior status fall 08
College GPA - 3.3-3.5
SAT - 2070 (M-800,V-620,W-650) - Should I take this again? Im pretty sure i could get something 2250+
ACT - 34</p>

<p>EC: interned this semester (will intern again at the same place or will volunteer at a hospital next semester), work on campus 10+ a week, part of several clubs,</p>

<p>Please chance me and give me any information that you can that you think I could gain a better understanding on any of these schools.</p>

<p>I'm currently trying to make a satisfactory list of where I should apply. I'm wondering if I am applying to to many reaches, etc... if anyone could tell me something of substance or my chances, I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, why would you wait until you were a junior in college to transfer?</p>

<p>I am transfering so I start my junior year elsewhere. My HS record was not amazing, and neither is my college (but it is stronger and is solid). I wanted to give the most time I could with also spending the most time in a place that offered the best opportunity to grow. I also have only recently decided to seek a place at a different college.</p>

<p>If you transfer anywhere in particular; go to UChicago</p>

<p>I want to say thanks for that. That was good. UChicago is an amazing place. A place that I likely would not be able to get into. However, the more important thing is that it would not be a good fit for me. Nevertheless, UChicago is an amazing place however it is just not the place for me. If you have any other advice I would appreciate it, thanks.</p>
