<p>I currently attend Villanova university and am in the business school, but am looking to transfer. Reasons included are tuition cost, atmosphere, dull social scene at times, and sometimes I feel like I don't fit in. I am Indian and the lack of diversity is troubling. My SAT score is 1980 M-650 CR-650 W-680. ACT is 29. My GPA in high school was a 3.8. Significant upward trend junior and senior year. I also got at 4.3 senior year. I was involved in high school with sports and service. I also have work and internship experience. Currently I have good grades (As) in all my classes except a mandatory culture course (B-) in which the teacher is unfair. I have joined two business societies here and am part of the indian multicultural club, and doing club golf. If I pull off a 3.5 or above at what schools should I look at?, that may have more diversity and allow for maybe a better social life. UVA is my main option and it is in state so tuition would be awesome. Plus I would apply as a second year as pre commerce and then hope to get into McIntire.</p>

<p>Any advice would be appreciated</p>

<p>I think you would likely have a fair shot as long as you can keep your grades high. You’re not going to find diversity central at UVA, but it’s a bigger school and I think it may be easier for you to find a niche within the school’s student population.</p>

<p>And as far as other suggestions, I’m afraid you’ll have to hear from someone else who may be more familiar with VA schools if you are considering tuition as a possible important criteria.</p>
