<p>I'll take a stab: you have a 30% chance, approx., at each of the schools. If you apply to them all, you have a 90% chance of getting into at least one!</p>

<p>I recommend posting on the transfer thread.
Here is my take. I plan on transferring also. You should try retaking the sats, or take the act. If you are applying as a junior, disregard this last statement. Your gpa is good enough to have a shot at these places. This also depends upon from which college you are transferring from. If you are transferring from a cc, your gpa may hurt you. You have great ecs, and this factor will surely help you. Your low income bracket may hurt you since many trans. admissions are not need blind. Remember to have a good reason to transfer and get great recs. You are a great candidate and good luck.</p>
