Chance me for an Ivy Transfer!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hey guys-</p>

<p>So I just finished my first semester at Tufts University and ended it with a 4.0 (Dean's List) taking:</p>

<p>Logic, Introduction to Computer Science, Non-Fiction Writing, Astronomy, Faculty-Led Seminar on Time Management.</p>

<p>I scored a 2220 on my SATs (700CR/730MA/790WR), and had a 3.8 HS GPA (weighted).</p>

<p>I was recently toying with the idea of a transfer, thinking about whether or not I could "trade-up" so to speak and back-door my way into a tier I school like Stanford, Harvard, or Brown.</p>

<p>I'm doing computer science, and I know that generally where you come from pales in comparison to what you've done there in the field, but does coming from Brown or Stanford Comp Sci make that much of a difference as compared to Tufts? Is it worth the shot?</p>

<p>More importantly, how do I fair against these schools as a transfer for 2012:</p>

<p>Harvard
Columbia
Cornell
Brown
Stanford</p>
