<p>I would apply to more schools than UChicago though so as to not pigeonhole yourself in case that doesn’t work out. Why not try Brown, Hopkins, and Penn? These schools have the highest transfer rates of all the elite private schools in the country (Ivies+Stanford+MIT+Northwestern+JHU+Duke) and with a 4.0 from Berkeley, you"ll probably get into at least one if you spread your wings a little bit. Dartmouth and Duke might be worth a try too.</p>
