not to be snide, but i really cant take your hopes to get a 3.7+ very seriously, there is no precedent for it in your application. just because you want to get a certain grade does not mean you will, everybody who wants to get into schools that normally accept higher gpa’s than their own say at the beginning of every semester that they expect to get a 3.7 or 3.8+, but usually past performance is the best indicator of future performance…i feel its best to proceed looking at what you have actually done so far, not the grades that you wish to get in the future

why do you want to transfer?

as you havent given any reason for wanting to xfer and havent given any kind of qualification to the types of schools that would consider, i would assume that your main reason is just to go to a more prestigious college…please correct me if im wrong

it seems that umass is challenging enough as is. if you give us the reasons that you want to transfer, if there are reasons other than prestige involved, i could perhaps suggest some colleges

best of luck
