Hi all,
I’m a freshman at West Chester University in PA. I decided to go there mainly because I am very young (16) and my mother was uncomfortable with the idea of sending me away so early. Anyway, it’s a regionally well known public school, but certainly not where I would like to attend long term. I’m currently looking into other schools for next year (fall 2015, my mom has said she’s ok with my leaving the nest at 17). What do you think my transfer chances are for the following schools:
Top Choices:
Rensselaer
Notre Dame
University of Michigan
Duke
John Hopkins
UPenn
Carnegie Mellon

Others:
University of North Carolina
McGill
Boston College
University of Washington

My Stats:

SAT: 2020

High School GPA: 3.9

College GPA: 3.835

College Transcript: French 201 (got an A), French 202 (A), Computer Science 110 (A-), Macroeconomics 111 (A-), Statistics 121 (A), Linguistics 230 (A-)
This fall I am scheduled to take: Russian 301 Advanced Grammar, Russian 403 20th Century Poetry, Geology 101, Political Science 213, and Intro to Calculus 110. I don’t know what I’ll take in the spring yet.

Majors: Double Major in Russian and Statistics with a Minor in International Business. Not sure what that would translate into at another school.

Rec Letters: I’m pretty sure I could get a good recommendation from the director of the Russian department, who also happens to be my advisor. I haven’t gotten a chance to get to know any of the other professors, but there will be time for that during this school year.

ECs: Ballet, raising seeing eye dogs for the blind; I also work at Wawa.
