My thoughts exactly

Yes, but in some places you would have to re-start as a Freshman.

Oh my god. I need to learn not to click on threads like these. That's scary.

"as a transfer I have the same chance as anyone else right"

Depends on the school. Some don't take transfers. Some only take transfers if they have open spots due to attrition. Generally speaking, there are fewer spots for transfer students than for freshman applicants everywhere. At most schools, the transfer audition process is done separately and most will not get a decision as early as freshman applicants. Transfer app deadline is often much later than that for freshmen.
