Transferring with an iffy GPA

<p>So my freshman year I received a 2.89 GPA and I wanted to raise it over 3.0 in case I wanted to transfer, this last term I received a 3.175 which while decent left me with a 2.99, a very unfortunate GPA. I was looking to transfer for the 2014 Fall School Year and wanted to know where I should be looking and what my chances of getting in are.</p>

<p>I have a 2.99 through 48 credits (3 terms)</p>

<p>My ACT when I was coming out of High School was:
Composite 31 (27 English, 32 Math, 33 Reading, 31 Science) and a 7 on the Writing</p>

<p>I'm currently deciding between an International Affairs/Political Science major.</p>

<p>I'm also a DIII college athlete, I play Football and have lettered the past 2 years. </p>

<p>I'm really interested in a change of pace from my current school I think. It feels a little too small with only 2,000 undergrads and it honestly feels like I'm just at a large high school. I would be okay going to an equally small school cause I would only be there for 2 years, but it's not my first choice. </p>

<p>I'm from Maryland but go to school in Oregon.</p>

<p>Current schools I'm interested in, (willing to add or subtract):</p>

<p>American University
Boston University
University of Virginia
University of North Carolina</p>

<p>(If I wanted to play football add University of San Diego, Claremont McKenna, and Chapman to it)</p>

<p>Where else should I look, how do my chances at these schools look?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
