unfortunately i’d be applying to columbia college. Like I said, Columbia has been my favorite for a long time (until I found Chicago) but I really wanted to give it a shot…I think slipper’s post is very helpful. As much as I really want to give that school a shot, would I really want to go there if I was accepted after what I’ve heard numerous times about how transfers don’t really “fit in.” It’s just hard for me to scratch off.

lol I really don’t think being a Texan has anything to do with my school choices…I’m a liberal and the only school I’m applying to in my state is UT, if that says anything.

Slipper - that post was very helpful…I was unaware that Dartmouth is so transfer friendly. Cornell is also obviously friendly b/c it takes a lot of transfers, but given the GTs it seems like it would be more practical to save Cornell for one of the grad schools I look into.

Thank yall for the replies so far…it’s just helping me clear my mind a bit. I’m going to look into Dartmouth, do the hardest thing for me to do (scratch off Columbia), apply to Penn and Brown for sure, and consider dropping Cornell.

I’m just trying to be practical in my decisions so it helps to get info on what general chances really are for these very competitive schools.
