<p>I'm currently a freshman at a school ranked mid-20s in USNWR (think Tufts, Emory, Wake, USC, etc.) hoping to transfer into Columbia. Does the acceptance rate look like its not going to get better for the next admission year? I know that Columbia's acceptance rate is right in the mix with Yale's and even lower than Princeton's. Does it look like it will only get worse next year? Also, what is the transfer accept rate?</p>
