I think you have a decent shot, but there are a lot of people in the sixty schools ranked higher than yours who will also be applying to CLS / NYU. "afely in" is overly optimistic in my view.

Yeah, that is pretty much what I figured, thanks. I think I have been writing too many memos as I originally thought of your use of brackets as completely normal.

IN!

[transferALT]

Hoping for advice here

Current:
School in lower 40s.
School only publishes top 10%, but well above that cutoff. Potential school could see that my GPA is near the summa cutoff, which is top 1%. Effectively, probably top 1-2% of class, i.e. top 5 students, but not reportable in that way.
LR decisions not out
Prior work experience

Applied:
H
S
Columbia
NYU
Mich
UVA

Possible but probably not, possible but probably not, 65% chance, 65% chance, extremely good odds, extremely good odds. Others might be more optimistic.

Alright, I've trolled around on these boards long enough... time to play:

Top 20% at 70-80. MC, excellent recs, deans list, masters degree, solid work experience.

Applied to:
NU
UIUC-- ties to the area

What do you think?

p.s. A'nold-- I'm a huge fan and would especially appreciate your input... Your good news is coming bud!

[thexfactor]

My thread opened up a can of worms!

NU-i think 25% chance. grades are just too low. if you were top 15% i would say above 50%
UIUC- IN very very high likelyhood of getting in.

Thanks for the kind words. I guess I'm either loved or hated around here, haha.

I actually think that Sanpiero is right on on his predictions. I would say that you have a fair to good chance at UIUC though instead of fantastic. If you would have applied to more schools I'm sure you would have no problem landing multiple t25's but I do think your chances at UIUC are pretty good.

Good luck and keep us updated!

I'm an easy one because i'm only applying to 2 schools.

Top 5% at a school ranked 40-45. 1 Witkin and Cali

According to transfer Apps you should have a shot at Harvard while Yale maybe a little tough due to is small class size. You should be in at Boston though! Congrats on the good year

~15% T2, one app to UCLA, yea... going to be rejected but staying put is good too
