first you need to figure out what type of school that you will be comfortable in. Your list is all over the lot: large, urban-Manhattan to rural tiny LAC’s.

'GAte is a fine school, but you will have to 'essplain why you want to trasnfer and what the new school offers that 'Gate does not.

Also note that the tippy top schools – like Yale and Pomona – take few-to-zero transfers. They don’t have the dorm space, since 99% of the Frosh return.

Cornell is one top school that is transfer-friendly, however, at least in CALS. It does have an active greek scene, but also has plenty of hipsters and everyone in-between.

The UC’s are gay-friendly, but unless you are instate, you’d be foolish to pay OOS rates to attend, IMO.
