I'm wondering what type of school I could transfer into as a Junior?

I under-achieved in HS and skated by with a GPA (weighted) around 3.3 and I only took 1 AP class. I went to Western Carolina Univ my Freshman year and I managed a 3.4 GPA for the year (pretty good, right?)

I'm going to a local community college for my next year of schooling and I'm expecting around a 3.5-3.6 (I'm really focused and serious now).

I was wondering what kind of 4 year school you think I could transfer into? I really want to go to NC State, but I would also love to go to UNC or any other prestigious public schools if I could get in. Does UNC look at HS stats for transfer students? Do you think I could get into NC State? UNC Wilmington?

Thanks for your help

*My major is history with a minor in Middle Eastern studies by the way

I think UNC Wilmington is very possible, and so is Nc State.

To have a realistic chance at UNC - main, you need to raise the GPA to at least a 3.7 considering the move from WCU------> community college.
