<p>hello all !</p>

<p>Some background on what is completed so far.</p>

<p>24 credits from a CC with a GPA of 2.4
42 credits from ASU with a GPA of 4.0</p>

<p>Never taken SAT/ACT.</p>

<p>Been working full time with an NGO to do outreach work to the needy.</p>

<p>Looking to enter a college to finish up my studies. Cost won't be an issue since my employers are willing to foot the bill. But I'm hoping to enter a really good school to finish up my studies. I have an interest in Philosophy and political science/IR.</p>

<p>Anyone know of good/great schools that might take transfer students that let's me focus on either subject of interest ?
I've check UC (LA and SD), and their transfer rate seems very low. So I don't think I'll be trying for them.
Was looking at U Penn LPS, but I'm not sure how hard it would be to enter such a great school.
I'm hoping to apply into 4-5 schools (my safety school would be to apply back to ASU and finish up a degree). Intending to start in January 2015.</p>

<p>Any advice would be helpful !</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>Actually, UCLA and USC admit a lot of transfer students compared to other schools. Look at Penn’s LPS and Columbia’s General Studies, too. For IR, check out Georgetown, GWU, American U, Tufts.</p>

<p>I was considering UCLA and Penn LPS, but I’m not sure if I would stand a fighting chance with my GPA.</p>

<p>If your latest transcript is from ASU then the GPA that counts is that one. Your professional experience and recommendations will also be factored in.</p>

<p>I don’t see recommendations being used for transfers at UCLA. <a href=“http://www.aim.ucla.edu/profiles/cds.aspx”>http://www.aim.ucla.edu/profiles/cds.aspx&lt;/a&gt; (section D) But there is a higher GPA requirement for OOS students.</p>
