<p>I think you have a fabulous shot, and I think the University really needs someone like you. As long as you can convey why you want to transfer here, I think you have an exceptional chance.</p>

<p>And please ignore nondairycreamer. He is a current applicant, and based on his sarcasm, he probably doesn’t want you to apply (because your chance is pretty high).</p>

<p>@Divine Comedy: Thank you! Are you a UChicago student? I am really interested in UChicago’s math department and the “math major with a specification in econ” program.
Also for nondairycreamer. I think he probably referred to my similar tread in Columbia’s forum because I am interested in Columbia too…
Anyway, thanks a lot!</p>
