Chicago 2023 Transfer

Hey guys, the decision for TED will come out later this week and I don’t think theres a 23fall transfer thread so i created it.

I’m currently a freshman at GW in DC. I have a 4.0 and all As on my midterm report, but mid ECs. My strength is my writing, which I hope is good enough since UChicago cares more about the creativity of our essays than other top schools. Which schools do you guys attend, and what do you think your chances are?
EDIT: Oh also I should mention I applied TED.

I have a family member who applied TED. He is at a Top-40 ranked state flagship with a 3.96 in Engineering. Current sophomore. His profile seems good but all of this is so competitive.

Looks like TED results are out. My family member is at an event and is waiting to check.

would it be easier to transfer to Uchicago next year if waitlisted this year?
