<p>I'm changing my major to Anthropology. Looking for a school with at least moderate respect. Large research universtity. In NYC/New Jersey.</p>

<p>I'd really appreciate possibilities. I'm looking at completely different schools than I looked for in high school, so I'm starting from scratch.</p>

<p>Columbia
Rutgers NB
NYU
Hofstra
CUNY Queens</p>

<p>BTW SUNY Buffalo and Albany are pretty good for Anthro</p>

<p>What kind of chances do I have at those schools?</p>

<p>Columbia is a reach because of your 3.4 gpa. Your SATs are fine. NYU is a match. The other 3 are safeties. You should not restrict yourself to the NYC/NJ area. That's a bad idea.</p>

<p>If you are transferring from a college they are going to be more interested in you college GPA. If you have a 4.0 at a decent college you have options, if you have a 2.0 you have fewer options. Go to a decent colleges department and see where the professors came from.</p>
