<p>Post schools that you are applying to and your OWN chances to be accepted. This is just a test of confidence of a sort.</p>
<p>Let me start </p>
<p>Penn - 30 % if I play my cards right.
Columbia - Crapshoot, 5%.
Cornell - 40 %, maybe a little better if I do great on the interview and essays.</p>
<p>USC - 70%
UC Berkeley - 70%
UC San Diego - 98%</p>
<p>(My schools so far)
Clark-85%
Rutgers-99%
TCNJ- 85%
Tulane-75%
University of Delaware- 90%
University of Maryland-85%</p>

<p>Amherst: 55%
W&M: 60%
Columbia GS: 90%
Cornell: 30%
Georgetown: 85% with a nom, 35% without
Middlebury: 30%

<p>I don't mean to put you down, but I would like to know what makes you think you have a 55% chance at getting into Amherst, but only a 30% chance at Cornell, and a 10% chance at Penn. Here are some numbers for Amherst, Cornell, and Penn. BTW, if you don't believe in CB's stats, I invite to look at the transfer admit stats on each college's website.</p>
<p>Amherst College ~ 5.6% admit rate</p>
<h1>Number of transfers who applied for fall term: 412</h1>
<h1>Number of transfers who were admitted for fall term: 23</h1>
<p>College</a> Search - Amherst College - Admission</p>
<p>Cornell University ~ 27.5% admit rate</p>
<h1>Number of transfers who applied for fall term: 2,918</h1>
<h1>Number of transfers who were admitted for fall term: 801</h1>
<p>College</a> Search - Cornell University - Admission</p>
<p>Penn ~ 16.8% admit rate</p>
<h1>Number of transfers who applied for fall term: 2,190</h1>
<h1>Number of transfers who were admitted for fall term: 367</h1>
<p>College</a> Search - University of Pennsylvania - Penn - Admission</p>
<p>As you can see, transferring into Amherst is a complete and utter crapshoot. What makes you think your chances are so high with a 5% admit rate? For that matter, why are your chances higher at Amherst than Cornell or Penn.</p>
<p>Again, I'm not trying to put you down, I'm just genuinely curious. I know the school has some sweet deals with the local CC's, but I thought you attend a California CC? Does Amherst have some sort of agreement with California CC's as well?</p>
<p>Good question... 90% at Columbia? I wish you all the best, but I wonder what makes you so sure.</p>
<p>Clemson- 100% got in about 2 weeks ago!! woohoo
UGeorgia- 70%
University of South Carolina- 99%
University of Florida- 49%
University of Southern California- 15%</p>
<p>Just for the record, the transfer stats on CollegeBoard are from 07-08 and not the current year.</p>
<p>Cornell UNiversity 30-40ish%
Northwestern University 20%
U Penn 15%
UMD College Park: 95%
Temple University 95%</p>
<p>Yeah, 55% is probably high for Amherst, but I read it was 18/162. 11% isn't a good chance by all means, but it sounds better than going up against 4000+ kids. Rates are about the same among the schools that accept more applicants, but for some reason is sounds better only going up against 162 other kids. I put 55% for Amherst, an F, I figure my chances of getting to Amherst are very low and not likely. Same with Penn and Cornell. But, from what I read about what Amherst looks for in a transfer student, I think I have it... along with everyone else who applies, I guess. Plus, they prefer CC transfers from any state. I asked the admissions office before I started going to a CC if they preferred I go to UMass, get good stats, and then try to transfer to Amherst. The admissions office told me that I should look into a CC because it'll save me money, and that they have a community college initiative. </p>
<p>As for Columbia GS, the honors program at my school has an agreement with GS and like 99% of the honors kids from my school have gotten in. And the rep that I talked to encouraged me to apply when I told her I was afraid I couldn't afford it.</p>
<p>My school also does a nomination for Georgetown, which I'm up for, and 6/7 nominees have gotten in. The one person who didn't get accepted had a poor HS transcript.</p>
<p>Sorry guys, I was just kinda rushing through the list. I'll be happy if any of the schools I'm applying to accept me because I know the competition is tough. That's why I'm applying to so many. I'm not certain about any.</p>
