Suggest schools for transfer student

Transfer Students
1

<p>For a variety of reasons, I ended up at a state university. After spending a year here, I’ve concluded that it’s not a good fit for me at all (I’m not a fan of classes with 300 students minimum, among other things). Could anyone suggest schools for me to consider?</p>

<p>HS GPA: 3.4/4.07 weighted (3.9/4.5 before mom passed away)
College GPA: 3.7
ACT: 30
SAT math: 750
SAT reading: 660
SAT writing: 640
College ECs: running club, Global Medical Brigades, volunteer at health clinic, res hall government, enrolled in Honors College</p>

<p>I’m looking for a school that has:</p>

<p>Between 1,500 and 6,000 students
Small classes
Strong chemistry/sociology department
A warmer climate (not a requirement)</p>

<p>Tuition isn’t a problem. Some of the schools I am looking at are Willamette University, University of the Pacific, and Oberlin College (reach). Any other suggestions?</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>Rice would be awesome, but I think that it’s a huge reach for me. Any other ideas?</p>

<p>You should have good chances at any schools below the top 25 as far as national universities go. Not as familiar with LACs though.</p>

<p>Look at Tufts and Brandeis. (They’re up north, but I believe both have good science departments)</p>
