Hi,
I want to transfer for next fall, and I"m looking for input on where to apply.
To give some background; I spent 2 years at a second tier liberal arts school, majoring in political science.
In my time there I got a 3.48 gpa (mediocre, I know). My ECs were similarly mediocre; an assortment of clubs, radio djing, a few leadership positions in my fraternity.
Anyways, I hated the school, and left after two years, with no intentions other than to leave.
About a year ago, I was very lucky to land a job at one the big 3 consulting firms (MBB). Granted, it's an entry level admin/facilities job, but hoping the prestigious name and unique experience will help my otherwise unexceptional application.
Fast forward 2 years after leaving school (to the present day), and I certainly feel ready to return to college. I'm much more mature than I was, and my intellectual interests are far more developed and refined. For those reasons, I think I can write a really good essay, and demonstrate that my potential is significantly higher than what is indicated by my grades.
Given all this, what are the best schools that I could reasonably get into? I have no idea at what type of schools would accept me. I'd like to go to the best ranked school possible, where I can surround myself with motivated, and high achieving peers.
I'd appreciate any advice or input!
