1. I think you stand a great chance.
2. Sorry, but it's difficult to say. It's my understanding that these schools hardly take any transfers at all, so I'm sure it's pretty competitive.
3. Since neither Stanford nor Harvard have an undergraduate business school, your probability of going there for an undergraduate business degree is zero. You are certainly qualified to study at Harvard or Stanford -- but being qualified is not nearly good enough. Harvard only accepts about 35 undergraduate transfer students per year (with hundreds of applicants) -- so even if you wanted to change majors, your chances of getting in are minimal. Transferring to Stanford is almost as difficult. The thing you should be thinking about is why you want to transfer. Berkeley has the third highest rated undergraduate business school in the US. Only Wharton and MIT are ranked higher. If you want a degree in business, you ought to stay where you are.
