What will admissions counselors say?

<p>I have just finished applying for transfer for Fall 2013 as an upcoming junior. Before this two month waiting period sinks in, I'd like to see one more time what others think about my admissions status. What are my chances of getting into the following schools?</p>

<p>---in order of interest---
Davidson
Rice
Columbia
WashU
Emory</p>

<p>Current Stats:
Top 50 liberal arts school
White M, resident of AL --- applying for need-based aid
GPA: 3.818 ... 3.97 non-math gpa (transferring to get into a math program that better suits my learning interests--- more application-based material, ability to work closely with econ department, etc.)</p>

<p>ECs:
-Summer research mentorship (2012) with top researchers in healthcare management--- will likely be getting a special author's note in a publication
-Resident Assistant (very few people selected at my school as a sophomore)
-Valet parking attendant for shows and concerts (likely to become assistant director of valet in the spring)
-Executive committee member of the Student Activities Council (Activities chairperson)
-Member of the fraternity with the highest GPA on campus (Scholarship Chair)
-Soups on Us Volunteer for needy members of the local community</p>

<p>Recs: one "stellar", one "glowing"--- also in the college report, my advisor mentioned how I handled a situation with one of my peers cheating very maturely (said that I had outstanding character) </p>

<p>Essays: provide specific reasons for why I want to transfer (greater interconnectivity between econ and math departments, more urban atmosphere for greater community service opportunities)... practical style of writing, but portray why I would fit into each school.</p>

<p>Dean's list for all terms
Beta Theta Pi Men of Principle Scholarship- finalist</p>

<p>Major: Econ/Math double
Relevant coursework: Intermediate Micro, Intermediate Macro, Experimental Economics, Development Economics, Calc I-III, Linear Algebra, Intro to Statistics, Diff EQ</p>

<p>Thoughts, anyone?</p>

<p>I think if you dont get in i certainly wont if that helps. haha</p>

<p>That’s good to hear. Any more thoughts on specific schools? Anybody?</p>

<p>I applied to Rice for transfer too. Hopefully I get accepted! You seem pretty qualified for all of those schools though. Good luck!</p>
