<p>Is there anything about vanderbilt you dislike? Also, you will have a very difficult time transferring out with a 3.3-3.5GPA.</p>

3

<p>Unlikely with that GPA, either stay at Vandy (which is what you really should do since you say you like it) or transfer junior year after raising your GPA.</p>

4

<p>if you were not accepted before, you will have less chance to be accpeted this time around. better stay.</p>

5

<p>I never applied to those schools in the first place! Does that change things at all?</p>

<p>Even from Vandy, you probably need a 3.7-3.8 to get into an Ivy, so I think you’re chances are slim. Tell your parents it’s a waste of money to try to apply. I mean, you said you like it at Vandy, and your parents can’t really get you into an Ivy (or can they?).</p>

<li><p>It is very difficult to ‘transfer up’ as a soph because you will have only completed 1 sem of college work when decisions are made and your HS record and test scores will be weighted more heavily. In your case, the addition of a relatively low college gpa makes your chances even less.</p></li>
<li><p>The Ivy league is an athletic conference, transfer rates range widely for the schools within it.</p></li>
