<p>My high school stuff got me into USC, Tufts, and Berkeley (from upstate NY) but I wasn't ready to move yet, but now I think I am.</p>
<p>any suggestions for other schools... I don't really hate Geneseo in anyway, I like it quite a bit, so I don't really need "saftey schools" or really even "match" schools if any of those arent matches (I think that I will probably get into USC again but who knows)</p>
<p>yeah, i need to get away from home, and i need to experience something new in my life, at the very least i need to get out of rural upstate new york.</p>
<p>Chances of anyone tranferring to Duke, Penn, NW, Stanford, Cornell L&S are slim. Hope you have a chance at Chicago, buteve there's getting tougher every yr, but I think you'll get into SC. How about Bucknell, Colgate, or eng schools that accept a higher % of transfers b/c folks can't handle it, like RPI?</p>
<p>Chances of transfer to any of the schools you named is slim, strictly judging by percent of transfer apps accepted. However, you are obviously a top student. Your chances are better than most, and obviously some apps are accepted. So I would say you have a good chance ... better than most. Please remember that no one can say for sure one way or the other, though (except the admissions committee!).</p>
<p>That's still less than the freshman admission rate for Chicago. I have no idea if the transfer pool is stronger or weaker on the whole than the freshman pool, though.</p>
