How difficult is it to transfer to U of C?

<p>and how good is the aid for them? (considering you have an income bracket of about 130,000)</p>

<p>When i said transfer, I meant to be a junior.</p>

<p>Also, what if your college GPA is llike a 3.6 or 3.7. But you have taken the most challenging upper-level courses available to you, and you also have a 60 hour a week job in international affairs and political advocacy for civilian protection against human rights violations, which is on top of my college classes, and is based in Washington DC, so I have to travel there on business trips every other month)</p>

<p>As noted in other threads on the UChicago Forum,</p>

<p>According to the College Board, the University’s transfer admission stats for last year were:
Applied: 986
Admitted: 48
Enrolled: 45</p>

<p>A 4.9% admit rate with a yield 93.8% yield.</p>

<p>[College</a> Search - University of Chicago - Chicago - Admission](<a href=“College Search - BigFuture | College Board”>College Search - BigFuture | College Board)</p>

<p>Because of the overall increase in applications it is likely the transfer admit rate will be even lower this year.</p>

<p>The other thing that’s important to recognize is that Chicago makes transfers satisfy its Core requirements, and there’s little or no chance that anything you have taken will give you credit towards the Hum, Sosc, and Civ requirements, a minimum of seven quarter-classes (and probably more like nine if you haven’t taken the right electives). If you are an IR major who hasn’t taken calculus, and biology, and chemistry or physics . . . well, that’s another six quarter-classes there. (I’ll assume you can meet the language requirement.)</p>

<p>Anyway, the point is that you can transfer as a junior, but it may be next to impossible to graduate in six more quarters; you are likely to need seven or eight minimum, maybe more. For that reason Chicago gets very few junior transfers – it’s tough enough for sophomores to pull off.</p>

<p>Yeah, it’s not easy. You’re facing a sub-5% acceptance rate.</p>
