Transfer Chances

I was wondering if someone could give me an idea of my chances of transferring to Vanderbilt University

Prospective major :Public Policy Studies or African American Studies

I want to transfer from the University of Miami because while I originally came to the school to be an Economics major, Political Science and Africana Studies classes have interested me the most. I am applying to Vanderbilt because it has produced great politicians like Al Gore and it has a Public Policy major, which I feel is more applicable to my career. Also they have an African American instead of Africana studies program, has a Center for Global Black Culture and Politics and the program has produced great intellectuals and authors like Michelle Alexander

Recommendations: I have a great recommendation from a professor who has been featured in several prominent political science journals and received his graduate degree from Columbia University and I got an A in his class last semester

I know my GPA could be better, but its low mostly because of math classes I took because of my economics major that I didn’t do so well in, math has never been my strongest subject and those classes helped me realize economics wasn’t the major I should pursue although I’ve never received less than a B in my economics courses (should I mention this in one of my essays?) also as I said before I have all A’s in my Political Science and Africana classes. I’m hoping my wealth of work experience and good recommendations will balance out my grades.

To be honest, your chances seem really slim.
