<p>Hello, so I just completed my first semester at Boston University and hate it. I'm looking to transfer to a school that is academically better and has more of a "classic" feel (school spirit, athltics, pride, campus, etc.) </p>
<pre><code> I've seen a lot of threads on this site about students from lower level state colleges and cc's with extremely high college GPA's. I got a 3.4 my first semester but I feel that at a college known for harsh grading and grade deflation, I've done pretty well. Do colleges take into consideration the differences between cc's and BU? Just to note, no disrespect to cc's at all, I only mean to point out that in general its much easier to get higher gpa's when your taking classes at a community college for a number of reasons

<p>Anyways. Here's my stats fro sophomore transfer:</p>
<p>HS:
GPA - 3.5
ACT - 30</p>
<p>College:
GPA - 3.4</p>
<p>Schools I'm looking at:</p>
<p>Florida State
Ohio State
Maryland
Penn State
U. of Miami
Tulane
U. of Washington
U. of Michigan
U. of Virginia
U. of North Carolina
U. of Wisconsin<br>
U. of Georgia </p>
<p>I was going to apply to BC, Duke but after researching I've found that privates have much lower acceptance rates and much higher standards for transfer admission</p>
<p>Thanks for any advice</p>
