Boston Transfer Hopeful Unsure of Chances for Choice Schools

Little background of my college experience so far: I graduated from high school in 2013 and took a gap semester due to unforeseen circumstances. In the Spring Semester of 2014, I enrolled in online classes through an accredited university and earned 21 credits before I transferred to my current college in Fall 2015. At my current school (Rhode Island College), all 21 credits transferred over and I have earned 18 more credits so far. I am working on completing my Associates degree before I transfer to a school in Boston. The reason for transfer is the fact that RIC is not the right fit for me at all with no college life, most professors being too lenient, and not feeling like I am receiving the most of an education I am paying for due to extreme easiness of courses and the campus falling apart and extremely outdated. My Stats: UW HS GPA: 2.957 W HS GPA: 3.613 College Status: Sophior (Sophmore/Junior) Intended Transfer: Fall 2017 College GPA: 4.0 w/ 39 credits ACT Score: 19 (I suck at major tests) Major: General Drama/Theater Minor: Business Management Funding: I am taking out loans and getting some aid paying for college by my generous Aunt, who pushes me to go to a school where I feel comfortable and receiving good education. Also, I apply for scholarships (around 150+ per year). Current School Stats: Tuition Per Year: $19,863 Room & Board: $11,363 (So not worth even getting paid to live there) Total 2 Years: $42,589 Also, most students graduate a year or two late due to course shortages Breakdown of Schools I am considering transferring to: Boston University (Dream) Tuition: $46,664 R&B: $14,030 Total 2 Years: $74,724 Northeastern University (Second Choice) Tuition: $43,440 R&B: $14,952 Total 2 Years: $73,344 Suffolk University (Third Choice) Tuition: $32,660 R&B: $14,942 Total 2 Years: $62,544 Boston College (Fourth Choice) Tuition: $47,436 R&B: $13,186 Total 2 Years: $73,808 Emerson College (Fifth Choice) Tuition: $37,350 R&B: $15,096 Total 2 Years: $67,542 Rutgers University (Fallback) Tuition: $28,075 R&B: $12,509 Total 2 Years: $53,093
