<p>The transfer admit rate for last year was about 3%. You've got to completely understand the enormous mountain that lies ahead of you. You've already attended two colleges and your HS achievement wouldn't have made you much of a viable candidate as a freshmen admit. </p>

<p>You can't get in if you don't apply but I'd say your chances are not good at all if I'm being frank. No one's really is, but you've got greater challenges.</p>

<p>I'm not saying you're a poor student: you seem to be doing marvelously right now.</p>
