<p>Rejected at Duke.</p>

<p>c'mon, but he's an African-American. </p>

<p>You should be in at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, heck even Stanford.</p>

<p>I sincerely hope you're joking, for your sake.</p>

<p>also i am first generation going to college and not applying for money. any ideas? chance at unc or uva? i know duke is tough transfer</p>

<p>Duke is something like 4%...very unlikely. </p>

<p>UVA still pays attention to residency and since you're OOS with a 3.5 GPA (roughly), I don't think you'll get in.</p>

<p>You've got a good shot at UNC, but you'll have to study for one semester before getting into the business school.</p>

<p>does anyone know anymore about unc??
chances?</p>

<p>UNC accepted 45% of transfer applicants in 2005.</p>

<p>You should also look at the College of William and Mary, which accepts 52% of transfer apps and might be a good alternative to UVA, if you want to attend a good school in Virginia.</p>

<p>does UVA not consider residency for junior transfers, or do they always consider it?</p>

<p>Also i agree that Duke is an extremely long shot</p>

<p>UVA still considers residency, making OOS admissions difficult.</p>

<p>what about unc?? it is my top choice. do I have decent chances?</p>

<p>UNC doesn't consider residency, from what I've been told.</p>

<p>Yes, you have decent chances at UNC. Try to pull your GPA up above a 3.5.</p>

<p>wont they only see my first semester grades??</p>

<p>yes, but your GPA will follow you everywhere and you can help your application by submitting a favorable midterm report.</p>
