<p>I’m currently a sophomore in college. I want to transfer for next fall. </p>

<p>I’m looking for…
1- Medium to large school
2- good sports scene, with football
3- I’m outdoorsy, so a school near the outdoors would be nice but not needed
4- i don’t really care if its a party school or not
5- i want to major in some sort of film/video or creative writing or screenwriting
6- oh and trying to stay on the East coast</p>

<p>My stats are currently…
2.6 GPA (eeww i know)
i got a 1280 on the SAT’s</p>

<p>I have good recs and good EC (including Eagle scout)</p>

<p>Right now im looking at UM-College Park, Ohio State, WVU, Florida, and Tennessee…Do i have a shot at these schools and what are some others i should look at?</p>

<p>Going to be real rough. Where are you now? Or, is it a better school than those that you want to transfer to? If not, stay put and get your GPA for grad schools.</p>

<p>i’m at St. Johns right now in NY…its not a better school than most of what im looking at…if i have to ill to go back to community college</p>

<p>I think you would have no problem with WVU. Florida and Maryland will probably be pretty difficult to transfer to. Don’t know about UT and OSU. I would also look at East Carolina and Buffalo. Both have some of the programs you are looking for and I believe ECU is fairley close to some outdoor activities plus they have an excellent football scene.</p>

<p>Look at Ohio University (not OSU) they have a good film/video program and a great sports scene</p>

6

<p>Florida has a really strong film program. Not so sure about the others though.</p>

<p>Try also looking at FSU and maybe Miami.</p>

<p>Florida does not have a strong film program. You are thinking of FSU, which has a top 5 film school. IMHO, your GPA is way to low to transfer into FSU, or UF for that matter. Your best shot would be WVU.</p>

<p>lol yea i pretty much FSU was out of the question</p>

<p>My advice would be to stay at St. Johns until you graduate. It’s not a bad school and it has great name recognition. Try to get your GPA up so you can apply to grad school at a different school. For your major of interest, it sounds like FSU should be your #1 choice. FSU has one of the top creative writing programs in the country and one of the top film schools in the world.</p>

<p>I agree with FSU MBA; stick it out at St. Johns. With 2.6, you probably won’t be making much judgment calls on where you want to go.</p>

<p>I’m not going to come back to St. Johns next year. Overall its been a pretty bad experience. If i have to i’m fine with returning to community college for next fall semester if i have to. On another note would i have a chance at ASU of Arizona?</p>
