Transfer Help!!

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hi so I am looking to Transfer schools. Right now I am at the University of Rochester (top 40 college). I love the academics and I love my friends, but there are some things I would like different. The social scene is a little lacking for me. I really want to be at a school where the students are really into school spirit and have sporting events that are attended by the students. I am only going to be applying for schools that have a better reputation than the one I am at now (doesnt make sense to go down in academics)</p>

<p>My Stats:
HS GPA: 3.5 (very competitive and nationally recognized high school)
College GPA: 3.76 (may have a grade change that bumps me up to around a 3.8)
Majors: Political Science and English
ACT: 33
Extra Curricular Activities: Literally ran out of space on the common app for these. Tons in high school and college</p>

<p>The schools I am interested in are UVA (Out of state so it will be more difficult I know), Stanford (Big shot in the dark, basically no chance, but one thing I think I have going for me is that my english major is concentrated in media/communications and I have around a 3.95 gpa in it and I want to apply to Stanford's communications major, so maybe that gives me a better chance?) Georgetown, Northwestern, USC</p>

<p>Really UVA is my #1 choice, I would love to go there.
Any thoughts about any of this? Thanks a lot in advance</p>

<p>I’ve heard that UNC puts in and out of state transfers in the same pool. What about Cornell? Vanderbilt? Notre Dame? Wake Forest?</p>

<p>Cornell doesn’t exactly fit the bill, and it is like an hour away from where I go now and I would like a little more of a change of scenery. Same with the others. I cannot see myself going to Notre Dame, Wake Forest is too small (Smaller than Rochester) and I visited Vandy and I didnt love it. UNC could be a possibility thanks.</p>
