<p><em>Was accepted to Emory last transfer cycle, but starting to rethink my decision.</em></p>

<p>…bump?</p>

<p>You certainly have a good shot at all of them. Good luck!</p>

<p>Yeah, the patent pending and NPO caught my attention. I’d focus on that.</p>

<p>I’m not too well-rehearsed in this chancing thing, but your chances Cornell and Emory look pretty good. The others look like high matches or reaches. But building upon what NCXfer said, I could see you getting into a couple of the reaches too. :)</p>

<p>Any other chances? Would like more opinions!</p>

<p>Most of those schools are crazy for transfer, but I definitely see you competing for one of those 50 or so spots in places like Stanford. Good Luck!</p>

<p>Hey all,</p>

<p>I thought I had a really strong shot at all these schos but I guess what they say about the admissions process is right: it really is a crapshoot.</p>

<p>If anyone was interested, here are a few decisioms so far</p>

<p>ACCEPTED: emory, vanderbilt
REJECTED: upenn, corne</p>

<p>I am really hoping to get into georgetown but seeing as vandy and emorys transfer acceptances were in the high 20% s and georgetown last year was at 13%, im no longer too confident.</p>

<p>Any chances? What do you all think?</p>
