<p>You are definitely a very competitive applicant. Stanford, Yale, UChicago, UPenn have like 2% acceptance rates so it is very difficult to predict chances. Everywhere else you have a great chance, especially Vandy since they have a good transfer acceptance rate and Emory since you already got in.</p>

<p>Suggestion for an additional school: University of Michigan. The Ross business school is fantastic.</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>
