Transferring from a community college to...

College Search & Selection

<p>Binghamton, Boston University, Bard, George Washington U, Amherst, Yale, Harvard</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8/4.0
Declared Major: Music (also Pre-Med)
SAT Score: 2200/2400
Extra Curricular Activities: Biology Club, Psychology Club, shadowing doctors at regional hospital, volunteering at local hospital, volunteering at local churches and music organizations, assisting with research.</p>

<p>My extra curricular activities are sparse. I have absolutely no time to volunteer or participate in any more clubs. I have orchestra rehearsals, trio rehearsals, quartet rehearsals, and juries and recitals to perform in. I've stretched myself past my limits and I do not intend to overload myself.</p>

<p>I seriously need a better list of schools. I had a bunch in mind from the potential list of schools I wanted to apply to during the end of my senior year in high school, but my needs and desires have changed pretty drastically.</p>

<p>I would still appreciate a school with a very open LGBT campus, but that is not a requirement. I would like a moderate to large population of students. I would prefer state schools over LACs (simply because of financial issues).</p>

<p>Anything else I can do to pamper my resume? Thanks.</p>

<p>What state are you a resident of? The same state public universities tend to be transfer-friendly to community college students, and offer in-state discounted tuition. Out of state public universities are often expensive, with little or no financial aid to non-residents (though there are a few exceptions).</p>

<p>I currently reside in New York. I completely forgot to tack that onto my initial post. A good chunk of the schools listed in my first post are outside of the area so I may have to search for different schools.</p>

<p>The four year public universities in New York (e.g. SUNY) are likely to be the most transfer-friendly to applicants at community colleges in New York.</p>

<p>For other schools, you will have to check how many transfer students they take, and what type of costs and financial aid you would be looking at.</p>
