<p>I don’t think anyone really knows what’s up with the enrollment capacity at the U. of C. It seems the admissions office messed up their frosh admissions by (1) over-overadmitting by 200 or more and (2) underestimating the strength of the frosh applicant pool, because some of those that got the wait list “gap year” offers were possibly better qualified than those already admitted. So, it is hard to say whether the admissions office will try to correct some of their mistake by restricting transfers. </p>
<p>Maybe you should post the gap year for a transfer idea here:</p>

<p>It would also be a good idea to have studied some modern “street Latin”, that is Italian, if you are thinking of going to Italy for a year.</p>
