Where should I set my limits to?

Well, cost may play a factor. Because there is not usually much in the way of merit aid for transfer students. So you would need to look at what Pennsylvania or other northeastern schools offer merit scholarships to transfers. Also, if you are thinking need-based aid, then you will need to look for schools which meet a similar % of need for transfers as for freshman. Some do, some don’t.

Don’t want to be discouraging, but cost factors can be a little harsher for transfers.

When you say “shoot higher,” can you give an idea of a school or two or three that you have your eye on?

Some possibilities that accept a decent % of transfers and have Biochem major: Duquesne, U Scranton, St. Joe’s. Tougher to get into might be Muhlenberg…
