Re: Am I a lick? I mean a lock...
No. From my experience with transfer admissions, no one is ever really a "lock." You have a seriously solid shot, but these kinds of things are definitely less certain than the original admissions chances.

If you already applied, just wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.Peeblepop wrote:What do you think my chances are being? Do you have any of advice for me?
If you haven't applied, get on that asap. Then, just wait and see what happens over the next few weeks.

You obviously have a very good chance at Harvard, Yale is always a blackbox, and I would be extremely surprised if you do not get into one of CCN. That said, wondering about whether you're a "lock" is a waste of time - you'll find out one way or another soon enough.

Re: Am I a lick? I mean a lock...
No, you're not a lock. I had very similar numbers from a slightly worse school last year and ended up at Georgetown. Much will depend on your essay. In fact, I'd say the odds are against Harvard and Yale, simply because a ton of people with your credentials will apply and they only have so many spots. But what is very probable is your getting into one, two, or all three of Chicago, Columbia, and NYU. And among those, Columbia and NYU are most likely; Chicago is pickier and pretty unpredictable.
