fabrizio, keep in mind that the OP is a transfer applicant. Transfer admissions is very different in terms of what adcoms are looking for. Some of the highly selective universities admit fewer than 10 transfers each year, and some LACs only admit 2-3. Race can be a big tipping factor at the freshman level, but it’s not nearly as significant for transfers.
