Apply transfer to Stanford from Columbia

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hello. I was wondering if anybody could give me an estimate on my chances for being able to transfer to Stanford from Columbia University. I have just completed my first semester as a Freshman.

My GPA is 4.2, unweighted (16 credits out of 18 max)
I have developed two iphone apps that are on the app store, about to release a third one.
I have a website where I sell 3D printed menorahs that I designed out of ceramic/porcelain.
I rowed varsity crew for three years in highschool and volunteered often, but since arriving to college I haven’t done any extracurriculars.
1980 on my SAT.

Do I have a shot at transferring schools? I’m mainly worried about my bad SAT score hurting my chances. I would like to study CS if I got in.

Stanford has around a 1-2% acceptance rate so as long as you understand that you should be fine.

Coming from columbia you will have to articulate your reason well as to what stanford offers that columbia does not. As long as you have that you seem to be a competitive applicant.

How did you get into Columbia with a 1980 SAT? Were you recruited for crew?
