<p>Hello all, I am currently a freshman at the University of Florida and I am considering a transfer to several schools. I am currently an Industrial & Systems Engineer with a minor in Physics. I am thinking of transfering to a smaller school with a higher intellectual atmosphere. I am not, however, limiting myself to schools with Engineering programs and am fully capable and willing to major in Physics or Math (or both?).</p>
<p>My Stats:</p>
<ul>
<li>URM (hispanic), and first generation college student</li>
<li>GPA - 4.0 (UF) and 3.8 (HS unweight.)</li>
<li>Rank - 11/1150 (School Size = 4500+)</li>

<p>Thank you for reading such a long post (sorry 'bout that) and I would greatly appreciate any evaluation of my stats/chances, as well as any suggestions on what schools to add/drop from the list and what I can do to improve my chances. Once again, thank you very much.</p>
