Where else should I apply? Help!

Transfer Students

<p>About to be a sophomore, currently attending George Washington University, looking to transfer for SPRING
HS GPA: 3.5
GW GPA: 3.94 (31 credits thus far)
SAT: 2100 / 700 reading, 790 writing, 610 math
ACT: 30</p>

<p>ECs:
Honors Program at GWU
National Society for Collegiate Scholars at GW
GW Hatchet (newspaper) writer
Habitat for Humanity member
UNICEF member
Philosophy Club member</p>

<p>I’m transferring out of GW because I do not feel challenged enough and do not feel like I belong. I want a school with better/tougher academics and a different atmosphere (basically – either a school with an actual campus and a community atmosphere, OR a school in NYC (my favorite city in the world)). I have great financial aid at GW and am trying to apply to schools that will give me close to the same amount. I understand that transfers don’t get as much financial aid but I still want to try. I’m still unsure of what I’m majoring in so I am applying to CAS for all schools.</p>

<p>I am applying to:
NYU
BC
Cornell
Colgate</p>

<p>So…where else should I apply? Thanks so much for your help!</p>

<p>I’m afraid you shouldn’t count on NSCS to help; note that the only ones touting it are one time posters:</p>

<p>I would look at Tufts. I was really happy there, and would recommend my experience to anyone! It sounds like Tufts has a lot of what you’re looking for- strong academics, generous financial aid, a community feel, and a “real” campus (even though we’re just a 15 minute subway ride from Boston). Good luck!</p>
