Transfer options advice.

<p>This is my first semester in CC, and i plan to transfer next fall. I'm applying to USC but i wish to have another option.
I don't have a set GPA yet, but i've been doing great so far so perhaps 3.5 or higher?
Student council member.
I'm a swimmer.
My HS records was not that great to be honest, and my SAT school was average (1660).
I took eight APs, and passed 6 exams. I was involved in many clubs and was a tri-athlete in high school.
I'm a minority and refugee, I can write a pretty great essay haha.
As far as my college "criteria" goes:
-I would like a relatively preppy scene, though i'm open minded.
-I plan to major in International Relations, and possibly double majoring in Public Relations as well.
-I would like to join the student council at my future school as well.
Location is important, i prefer New england area, New York, and anything around there. USC is my California choice so i would like a bit of a contrast if that makes sense.
A nice financial aid package would be nice, but if it's a great school a little debt won't scare me haha.</p>

<p>so thank you to anyone who helps me out! sorry if it's a bit long.</p>

<p>P.S. I will be applying to Brown as well, but it's more of a childhood-dream thing. I know that odds are against me.</p>
