Chance me for LACs and a few other institutions (CC transfer student) [TX resident, 3.75 college GPA, English and philosophy major]

Okay, so I’m currently working with a Stanford grad who is mentoring me. He stated that many of these schools listed are “quite reasonable matches.” This guy has mentored numerous other transfer students who have gone on to Ivy Leagues, Stanford, and other T20 institution, so I
trust his judgement.

Furthermore, regarding your comments about Oberlin, Sewanee, and St. Olaf—I have talked to numerous students at each of these institutions, where I have shared my stats with them, and in return, have been told that it’s very, very likely that I’ll get into these colleges. So, I’m not sure what you’re thinking.

Additionally, I’ve been told by several Williams and Amherst students—who were admitted with the same stats—that I have a good shot at these schools. Now, of course, I certainly don’t think that I’ll get into Williams or Amherst, but they said my application is great and that I have a really unique background.

I’ve shared my stats with a great deal of others—all students who have either graduated from, or currently attend a competitive college—and they all say they I have a great shot at these schools.
