Where Can I Get Accepted!?!?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am planning on transferring schools at the start of the Fall 2009 semester, but I am having a somewhat difficult time selecting which schools to apply to for transfer. So far, my list is as follows (I may not actually apply to every one of these schools, though):</p>

<p>Claremont McKenna C; Colorado C; Cornell U; Northwestern U IL; Pitzer C; Pomona C; U Chicago; Vanderbilt U; Washington & Lee U; and Whitman C</p>

<p>Here's some information on me: I am a second-year honors student at a major southeast public university with a 4.00 GPA studying biochemistry. I volunteer six hours a week at the university's affiliated medical center (ER, Day Surgery). I play basketball about 12 hours a week and intend on trying to play at my new school - I'm not quite good enough to play for my current school's team, as they are in the nation's top 15. I am a resident of Tennessee. My high school statistics:</p>

<p>SAT: 2060 (660 Critical Reading, 760 Mathematics, 640 Writing)
ACT: 30 (28 English, 31 Reading, 32 Mathematics, 28 Science, 10 Writing)
GPA: 3.95 (about Top 10% of the class - my high school does not release official statistics on it)</p>

<p>I also was National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, Honor Council, All-District Basketball, etc. in high school. </p>

<p>I'm just curious what types of schools I should apply to; am I going in the right direction, or should I change courses? Am I competitive at the aforementioned schools? What are some better options?</p>

<p>you are competitive at most all of the schools you mentioned. What about adding Upenn, Emory, and John Hopkins. There are a little more selective but I think you stand a chance.</p>

<p>sounds like you are definantly on the right track...the schools above that are more selective than the ones you mentioned might be pickier about youre ec's and sat's...but you stand a chance at all of the schools that you mentioned, in my opinion</p>

4

<p>With the list as is, you will definitely be in at Pitzer, and stand a good shot at all the rest. So this list, with Pitzer serving as a safety, it entirely within reason. Best of luck.</p>

<p>Thanks for the kind words so far guys... So, in addition to adding Johns Hopkins, Penn, and Emory, what are some others good 'reach' schools to add to my list?</p>
