<p>Ivy league transfers are really hard. I don't know excatly how Ivy Leagues do transfers so I cannot give percent chances.</p>

<p>Harvard, Yale, Penn, and Columbia do not offer an undergraduate B.Arch. program. A BA with major in architecture means you still need to go get a M.Arch, or 2-3 more years of professional school, before becoming licensed. If you transfer, you will probably need two more years of study for the BA/BS.</p>
