<p>I have no idea what your transfer chances are, but I'm surprised you didn't get in in the first place, too. Is it safe to assume that you are an URM, since you belong to the Black Student's Union? Those must have been some REALLY crappy essays! :D</p>

<p>I'm assuming that you didn't make it the first time because you gave them the impression that you didn't really want to go. Presumably that is what you need to correct this time: WHY do you want to transfer to D from the U of C? There has to be some convincing reason.</p>

<p>BUMPITY bump!!!</p>

<p>Wait so you tried transferring as a freshman too?</p>

<p>I'd say you have decent chances. Don't know if transferring is harder or easier as a junior though.</p>

<p>No i was considering transferring as a freshman, but decided to give myself more time at U of C</p>

<p>If you have a 3.915 at UChicago, dear lord, just stay there and maintain your GPA. You'll win at life.</p>

<p>You're a URM with 2250+ SATs and a 3.9. You'll get in wherever the hell you want.</p>
