What should I do?

Transfer Students
1

<p>Hello, </p>

<p>I recently graduated from CC with a 2.6. Although I have a low GPA, it has been a turn around from how I started three years ago. I ended up in probation with 0.8 and managed to turn that around with my last two semester with 4.0. I also was selected from a group of students from cc that allowed me to take classes at an ivy institution. In those classes I got B's and a C-.</p>

<p>I've also done a lot in volunteering in the past. SAT tutor, Hospital work and stuff in my community. </p>

<p>I'm not sure where to apply to, but I am from the northeast and I was thinking</p>

<p>Syracuse and Barnard as reaches
SUNY's - Bingo, stonybrook, ESF, Buffalo, Albany </p>

<p>I did get accepted to CUNY's but I am looking to leave the city to focus on my studies more intensely. </p>

<p>Is there anywhere else I might get in? I'm not sure where else to apply. </p>

<p>You need to ask for an endorsement from one of the ivy professors and apply to a school such as USC that puts heavy emphasis on upward trend + letters of rec. </p>

<p>Well, I am science major and I got letters of recommendation from head of science for both departments. I would like to attempt to transfer for Fall 14. </p>

<p>What kind of school do you want to attend? A large state school, a liberal arts college, at tech school? What about being in a city? Are you willing to move out of the North East? It is hard to give you suggestions without that information.</p>

<p>I want to attend a small/medium size schools, but I am also open to larger schools because of my goa. </p>

<p>A liberal arts college sounds good. I would like to get away from the city atmosphere unless if I get into Barnard. </p>

<p>As for moving for the northeast, I’m open, but am wary because of cost of travel. </p>

<p>I’m looking for school with strong fields in both science and law because those are two career paths I am considering the most.</p>

<p>Also notable factors</p>

<p>URM
Intern in one of the top hospitals in the country in there different departments
Volunteer a lot
Full time worker at retail store </p>
