<p>special circumstances: is a new immigrant and just learned how to speak English for 4 years
separated from parents since 5
is doing biomedical research with a Stanford graduate school professor, who would recommend me by writing a 10 page long recommendation to admissions (he personally went there 4 times, and asked another professor for help)</p>

<p>what's my chance.</p>

<p>additional info</p>

<p>Stanford takes as little as 10 or as much as 20 from an applicant pool of 300 or so transfer students from CC.</p>

3

<p>You have a decent shot, but if Stanford falls through you are pretty much in at Berkeley (assuming your CC is in Cali).</p>

<p>Thx.well, I am transfering, not really for my well-being, but is because of this girl I really love.</p>

<p>I secretly loved her for three years, not have a chance of really getting her.</p>

<p>Now she's probably going to Stanford, and she's a bio major. </p>

<p>I hope I will end up in the same coed as her do.</p>

<p>This is what i dont get..ur SAT and SAT I scores are like excellent. But you went to a community college. I mean, no offence, but you would have gone to a UC forsure with ur high school stats. but anyways, your chances of stanford is good. 4.0 excellent</p>

6

<p>i was rejected from all UCs, ironically, due to my special circumstance being a recent immigrant. they figured I can't speak english.</p>

<p>how unfortunate.</p>

<p>Really?? They did that to you ??How long exactly after you came to America that you applied to University ? If you got those result on the SATs, your potential is noticable.
It is extremely hard for an immigrant to speak English well when he has just come. Isn't that against immigrants, a big part of this country ?
I dont understand, you said "they figured that I couldn't speak English". So they had met you before they rejected you.</p>

<p>I am not going to comment on your chances, but if you think you can improve them by telling all other Stanford transfer applicants not waste their time, don't hold your breath. You need to be more objective of yourself and others.</p>

10

<p>No, I am not telling them not to apply. I am drawing an analogy as how hard it is.</p>

<p>And by any chance are you Chinese? for some reason, my fellow countryman LOVE to draw the conclusion that everyone is greedy and stuff, therefore we have a REALLY divided race, and everyone is aim to kill another. </p>

<p>wonder why.</p>

<p>and yes, UC screwed me over big time. I know an admission officer at Columbia, and he commented that 700 is the highest SAT verbal he've seen coming from a foreign student.</p>

11

<p>I am not Chinese, and you are the one being greedy. Stanford accepted more than 10 applicants. The ones i posted on the other thread were projected. However, 44 is still not 10. By the way, if it is so competetive, then why don't you not apply and let other students who want to benefit from the intellectual atmosphere apply instead of you, who just wants to stalk some girl?</p>

12

<p>EDITeD out</p>

13

<p>By the way, to which UCs did you apply?</p>

14

<p>berkeley, Davis, SD, and LA. u got a status thread?</p>

<p>"Thx.well, I am transfering, not really for my well-being, but is because of this girl I really love.</p>

<p>I hope I will end up in the same coed as her do."</p>

16

<p>A status thread?</p>

<p>Also, when did the UCs reject you. They don't release admission decisions for transfers until April.</p>

17

<p>last year</p>

<p>by status thread i mean a thread like "what's my chance"</p>

<p>and yeah, the girl is only PART of the reason.</p>

<p>let's enjoy a civil discussion. i would love to meet intelligence ppl and exchange vital infomations</p>

18

<p>haha, and you really believed i can steer away competition from an INTERNET forum</p>

19

<p>UC rejected me LAST year</p>

<p>Hey, some people don't know much about the admissions process. I know a high school student, who is blindly applying to colleges like Yale. She doesn't know what her SAT score is. She has not taken SAT II tests yet. She only passed one of the several AP exams she took. And, she really thinks she has a chance to be accepted at Yale. Therefore, misinformation is more harmful, than accurate represenation.</p>
