<p>HS GPA of 2.4 and College GPA of 3.62 with 69 credits amassed. However took two yrs. off and worked at a neuro science lab, did advertising/marketing for a sports agency, tutored students in Chemistry/math. But never took the SAT'S</p>
<p>What are my chances of getting into Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh university, GWU, Colgate University, University of Michigan?</p>
<p>I would suggest you to check with the schools you are applying to, to see if they require SATs. Though your GPA is not too perfect, I think you will have a good shot at all the universities if you can boost your experiences. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hey Ronaldo, since I have alot of college credits, most schools place a stronger emphasis on the college record than the high school one. Also, since I graduated in 2005 the college record is more important now. Plus GWU, Carnegie Mellon, Lehigh, University of Michigan don't reqire the SAT's. Then for GWU, you just need to submit a college transcript and the same goes for Michigan. The only difference is Michigan requires a highschool transcript only for record keeping purposes. Lehigh wants both however a large majority is placed on the college record. Minimum GPA to transfer to Lehigh is 3.25. Carnegie Mellon wants both transcripts to, however if you didn't perform as well in HS, but did alot better in college Carnegie says on the website that you can still be via college ready. Also, I resent that my GPA is not perfect, in less your talking about my dreaded HS one. Otherwise I've worked by but off to get this really good college GPA. I know statistics for these schools, I just wanted someones opinion, if they can give it realistically. However they need to know about the schools stats first. So, based on what I said here now give me another opinon.</p>

<p>From your most recent note, I think you know everything that anyone can reasonably be expected to know about the schools on your list. If you like those places, apply. If you don't, keep looking.</p>
<p>You are in Maryland. If you are still interested in the bio sciences, you should also apply to UM-Baltimore County, and to UM-College Park. These are likely to be your financial safety schools.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>Thank you very much happymomof1, I reall appreciate your feedback. However, I've lived in Maryland for 20yrs and I want to branch out and try a new experience. Also, I want to aim higher than UMBC/College Park. plus I prefer the private atmosphere more, because classes are smaller. Public institutions are not for me. Though financially, this would be my best bet. I've done my research and some of these schools offer transfer scholarships and fantastic financial aid packages, so I know I won't be in a financial quandary. Again, best regards</p>
<p>Just curious, which of these schools offer merit scholarships for transfer students? It would be good information to know as merit aid for transfers is so rare.</p>
<p>Thanks, EM</p>
<p>University of Rochester, University of Michigan, Tulane University, University of Miami, and alot more. These are the only ones I know for certain. I actually applied to Tulane for this Spring of 2008, and got accepted as a transfer, considering they just based the majority of the emphasis on your college record. HS is only for record keeping purposes, just like Georgia Tech, University of Michigan. They offered me an $18000, Academic Acheviement Award, but I turned it down because Tulane wasn't for me.</p>

<p>Thanks and good luck!</p>
<p>Miss St does give merit scholarships to CC students from any state. These scholarships are limited and are competitive. But, with Miss St, I know that the earlier you apply, the better your chances… </p>
<p>Heres $$ for CC transfer students - even for OOS students. </p>
<p>Personally, I think just being able to get the Community College Non-Resident Tuition Scholarship is a big plus, because Miss St’s in-state tuition is quite cheap (about $5k per year).</p>
<hr>
<p>I found this and thought I’d share with others who might have the same need. It’s often very hard for CC students to get any merit $ when transferring to a 4 year University. So, I was happy to find these below listed scholarships</p>
<p>Please, note…
<p>FYI…Mississippi State is the flagship of the state. </p>
<p>I have never been on the Miss St campus (I will be there in Nov), but several friends’ kids go there and really like it. The campus is lovely, the architecture is classic red brick/columns type, and there are many very strong programs there, such as engineering, pre-health, pre-vet (it has the vet school), math and sciences. It probably has a good business school, too, but I’m not familiar with that (yet). LOL</p>
