I see that and thank you for the information. I’m just wondering if my grades are good enough to the point where I will get accepted into one of my top 4 schools of choice (baylor, virginia tech, nc state, pittsburgh)
What I’m trying to tell you is that we don’t know. There’s a chance that you will be admitted. But again we don’t know.
Your grades will be compared to everyone else who’s applying to the same universities with similar backgrounds. Be patient and wait.
Transfers will be compared to other transfers. You want a guarantee, and we can’t give you that. You won’t get a chance if you don’t apply. So you need to apply.

It is also more difficult to “chance” transfer applicants at many colleges, since many colleges make public less information about transfer admission than frosh admission. In addition, transfer admission at the junior level is more likely be influenced by how full your desired major is at the college, adding another variable that there is little or no public information from the college about.

That’s fair. Completely understandable.

And you may get admitted to all of them.
College A will require you to complete four semesters at their college before getting your degree.
College B will admit you- but not to your desired major. They will want to see your performance in two of the pre-requisite courses before admitting you to the major.
College C will admit you but with five semesters required, and no aid.
College D will admit you but not to the major. You have not demonstrated strong enough quant skills for a quant major.
Then what? This is the point you seem to be ignoring. Just getting admitted doesn’t get you what you want necessarily. You have a specific discipline in mind, and presumably, don’t want to spend another 5 semesters as an undergrad having already been an undergrad for 5 semesters….

Absolutely agree! The colleges decide how you will be admitted.
This doesn’t even include financing. If you require aid, and they admit you, but don’t give you a dime of aid, what will you do?
The universities are being really strict with their financing given that the government has limited funding and we don’t know which universities will receive additional grants. There’s only so much private money to go around. Their endowments are reserved.
