<p>Could you chance me for a transfer to Yale (crapshoot, I went through this for UG regular entrance so I know), Georgetown, Brown, Columbia, and Penn?
If it means anything, I applied to all these schools last year besides Columbia. Rejected at Yale and Brown. Waitlisted at Penn and Georgetown (withdrew, didn’t hold out)
Thanks for any and all help.</p>

<p>Bump–Anyone? I appreciate the help :)</p>

<p>I think you’ll have a chance, but (as I’m sure you know) all of these schools are so selective that it’s difficult to know. I think your freshman GPA will be a strong point, though. Are there any other schools you’re considering? I know it sounds obvious, but applying to one or more schools definitely increases your chances of getting in somewhere else.</p>

<p>If you don’t mind me asking, why are you looking to transfer?</p>
