My girlfriend is a freshman at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and would like to transfer mainly to a LAC in the Northeast. I’m currently at Penn. What are her chances:

High School GPA: 3.5
College GPA: 4.0
ACT: 28 (taken senior year, will retake)
Recommendations: Outstanding
Essays: Good
EC’s: Decent (variety of clubs, lots of work experience)
Ethnicity: Hispanic
Potential Schools: Haverford, Bryn Mawr, NYU, Sarah Lawrence, Mount Holyoke, UPenn, Swarthmore

Mainly, I’m wondering how much her URM status will help her. I appreciate it greatly.
