<p>Realistically, I'd like to know if I have a chance at these three schools! Thanks a lot! </p>

<p>I'll do my best to objectively chance back! </p>

<p>My gpa in high school isn’t even listed, it was over 100 and I was ranked #1… Thanks though! </p>

<p>You should get into to Duke and Penn not sure about Stanford. Great statistics :slight_smile:

<p>I wouldn’t be too confident–selective schools’ transfers have very low acceptance rate :frowning: Good luck though</p>

<p>Thanks! I really appreciate your insights! I ended up not applyin to Duke because only 2 of my Econ classes would transfer for credit to the major, so I would have to redo 3 of them. I really just wanna go to Penn haha </p>

<p>Bump please :)</p>

<p>You have strong academic credentials and decent ECs. I think for transfer applications, given that every other part of your application is good enough, decisive factors in gaining you admission are your reasons to transfer and recommendations from your professors. If your reasons are persuasive enough and your professors give you decent references, I think you are a competitive applicant. </p>

<p>For Penn application, if you can give good reasons why you ended up staying at Williams, I think you should feel comfortable about your chances of getting in.</p>
