Hello! I am a sophomore economics major at a small liberal arts school near Philadelphia. To give you some background, my grades were average in High School, but I managed to earn pretty good SAT scores, an 1890 on the old test. I don’t think that I casted a wide enough net when I initially applied to colleges. I applied to three schools and wound up at the one which provided the most financial aid. Don’t get me wrong, I love it here. However, I have become more concerned with school rankings and department rankings ever since I arrived at college. Now, I want to transfer to a school with higher name recognition and a better program in what I am interested in, Accounting and Actuarial Science.
My cumulative GPA is a 3.75. I am involved in several activities on campus. I am treasurer of my fraternity, I work as a technician in the theater department, I am a member of the college’s alumni relations team, I write for the student newspaper, I work in the college kitchen, and I am a member of a student leadership group which works at freshmen orientation and graduation.
Which college, that meets my criteria, can I realistically transfer to? Thank you!
