What are my transfer chances for admission?

<p>I am a community college student living in Texas. I got a GED score of 576 and I am considering taking the ACT depending on which colleges I choose to apply for transfer admission. I have 60 non-developmental credit hours and I likely would be transferring as a Sophomore or Junior also given that some courses may not transfer. My lowest grades are the following:</p>

<p>B in English 1
B in English 2
C in Microeconomics
D in College Algebra (May not be transferable due to grade)
B in Developmental writing (Non-transferable)
W in Developmental math 1(Non-transferable) (Technically withdrawn)
B in Developmental math 2(Non-transferable)
With only 1 Withdraw which was in Physics for non-science majors
I have made an A in all other classes including Pre-calculus, Biology 1 and 2, British Literature, and Macroeconomics
It is also noteworthy to note that all my poor grade work was in my first year and I have made a 4.0 in my last 34 credit hours. I had 1 really rough spring semester of my Freshman year and now everything seems messed up for me...</p>

<p>I am looking at the following majors: Government, Psychology, History, Political Science or Philosophy with a minor in whatever seems interesting or that I enjoy.</p>

<p>To be honest I am kind of gearing away from math or science related majors due to my grades and lack of classes in the field areas. I feel like I screwed up with the everlasting D in College Algebra and C in Micro and all is lost. In addition I dropped my first science class and I'd have to take an even harder version of something I'm not that great at. My GPA is a 3.60 with 60 Credit hours.(Includes college algebra grade and obviously excludes W's)</p>

<p>I am considering the following colleges the most and please add some in the comment section of good choices you would recommend for me and would not recommend based on the list I provide below.</p>

<p>University of Texas at Austin
University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign
Cornell University
UCLA
Cal
Texas A&M
The Ohio State University
Michigan State University
Indiana-Bloomington
Johns Hopkins
Arizona State
California Colleges</p>

<p>And quite a few others... I'm capable of writing a great essay that I will take my time on and ensure that I give myself the best chance on every application that I fill out. I have been very involved including being in Phi Theta Kappa (Honors society), Treasurer of Student Government, as well as many other active clubs and volunteer work.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about my transfer chances and etc? </p>

<p>Talk to your transfer GC about where students with similar grades have gone. You have some incredible reaches on your list (Cornell) and some very expensive OOS public colleges where you will get no aid (UIUC, UCLA, etc). You should also check with each school to see if you even need to take the ACT. It’s not usually required for students with more than a year in college.</p>
