What are my chances

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hello I am a freshman at Penn State University Berks campus. I chose to go to a satellite campus for my first two years to ease the transition into college life. I am a resident on campus even though home is within the hour. I am planning on transferring to University Park after my sophomore year, however I am going to apply to a few other schools as a transfer student. The schools I am planning on applying to are Johns Hopkins, Upenn, Villanova and possibly Temple. What are my chances of getting into these schools?</p>

<ul>
<li>By the Fall when I apply I should have in between a 3.8-3.9 gpa</li>
<li>I will have 36 credits when I apply</li>
<li>2-3 very strong letters of recommendation</li>
<li>Internship at Peco Energy, Philadelphia Pa (between freshman and sophomore year summer) </li>
<li>Am involved with political science club, ski/snowboard club.</li>
<li>Planning on being a residential advisor next year.</li>
<li>Will be traveling to Belize this summer for over a week to do volunteer work.</li>
<li>Have done A LOT of community service through key club, the salvation army, and habitat for humanity.</li>
<li>Worked along Penn State Interns three consecutive summers at a local psychology firm. (thought this is what I wanted to study in college at the time) </li>
</ul>

<p>Thanks for your time and responses.</p>

<p>PSU should be doable, UPenn is the big reach, Temple is a low match, don’t know enough about JHU and Villanova.</p>

<p>JHU and UPenn are hard to transfer into but that does not make it impossible</p>

<p>Okay thats what I figured thanks so much for your response. Also do you know how much my high school grades and SAT scores will factor into the transfer?</p>

<p>they will care more about your college achievement. I think they only request HS transcripts to see if your grades improved since then.</p>

<p>Okay. My grades have improved significantly since then. Also I will be in the honors program next year as well which should help.</p>
