A Transfer Chances Thread: Reach/Match/Safety Cutoffs?

<p>some of the less prestigious schools on that list you should be a lock for (lehigh, penn state, bu, u pitt) and are pretty much safeties</p>

<p>colleges like uva, johns hopkins, cornell seem to be a match</p>

<p>for the other ivies and near ivies (upenn, columbia, mit, brown) you should have a shot…but this is where i have to get really picky, because god knows these schools with their 2% acceptance rates are…for the top schools on your list, im not sure if i see that “hook” that really might set you apart from other transfer applicants…i don’t see a burning passion in your app, at least as its been presented, or a set of accomplishments that would really make you stand out for an adcomm…these would be tough reaches…worth applying to them, and who knows maybe you sneak into one of them, but i wouldnt get your hopes too high for these schools…maybe even you held out another year</p>
