<p>My guesses, not scientific at all.
Stanford: 25%
Dartmouth: 35%
Penn: 40%
Brown: 50%</p>

<p>All great schools to transfer into, I love this list. I think you'll get into one of these. At the top level its going to be difficult, but you have a shot. I think this list is perfect, but if you need a match consider Northwestern (65% shot). Also Cornell would be slightly easier than Brown, but I personally am not too into the place compared to these others.</p>

<p>wow, i regret i wasted $70 dollars on my stanford application</p>

4

<p>i'd say you have a better chance at dartmouth than penn</p>

5

<p>Why would he have a better shot at dartmouth than penn when penn is statistically more accepting of transfers?</p>

6

<p>well he didn't specify which school at penn, i mean i'd say he has a better chance at dartmouth than wharton</p>

<p>Hmm, somthing doesn't add up here. First, UCSD is on a quarter system, so I'm not sure how you'd have 3 semesters finished. Second, you say in those three semesters you've had A+s in all 9 of the Physics and Math classes you've taken. That means each semester you're taking 3 math and physics classes, which seems like a lot for a freshman/sophomore. Its probably nothing, but if you cleared these things up it'd be easier to make a jugdment about transfering.</p>

<p>Gentleman,</p>

<p>I'm sure he meant quarter.</p>

9

<p>Yeah..
I wasnt sure how to explain quarter system, so I made it equivalent ro semester...I have finished 4 quarters and currently in my 5th quarter....</p>

<p>Well, with Stanford, you may very well find your stats similar to those of the 62 out of 1,281 who were accepted last year...but with those odds, I would never say I'm in a position to give you any possibility chances... it's a crap shoot, really.</p>

<p>BTW, why don't you like UCSD? San Diego is GORGEOUS.</p>

<p>Nothing like dat...I love UCSD..San Diego is awesome but I want to go to another college and experience life elsewhere.. i will be missing UCSD a lot if I do transfer..</p>
