Need help finding some schools

Transfer Students

<p>Hey guys, I’m a third year California CC student that’s looking for some LAC’s to apply to. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>Major: Physics
GPA: 3.57, but I have all A’s in math/science classes with the exception of Diff Eq(B)
SAT: did not take
ECs: none</p>

<p>your lack of any ec’s at all will hurt your application a lot…what are you looking for in an xfer school?</p>

3

<p>Somewhere that has a pretty good science program, setting doesn’t really matter too much, but I really like the prospect of being in small classes and getting close to professors.</p>

4

<p>I don’t know whether “no” EC’s will hurt you or not. Do you work outside of school? What do you do with your non-school time?</p>

<p>Very difficult to recommend schools without knowledge of geographic preferences or other factors. What schools are you thinking about?</p>

<p>I kinda have a job, but it’s not an everyday thing. I am in the process of teaching my self guitar(it’s been two years) and I play baseball (not for the school)and Racquetball, but I wasn’t sure if those counted as EC’s.</p>

<p>In a dream world I would like to go to either Harvey Mudd or Pomona college, but I know I don’t even have a chance at those schools. I do like it in on the west coast, but I really wouldn’t mind going to school on the east coast.</p>

<p>Yes, those can be EC’s. </p>

<p>You might look at schools which don’t require SAT/ACT scores — [The</a> National Center for Fair & Open Testing | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org%5DThe”>http://www.fairtest.org). Several LACs there, many strong in sciences. One that I happen to know of is Bates in Maine - but that is certainly as far away from California as you can get.</p>

Even physical activities that you do for fun count as ECs? Would training for ROTC be viewed in a similar light?</p>
