Chances of getting into Ivies?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm from a CCC transfering for Fall 2007 as an English major w/ 3.88 GPA (could be higher by time of transfer). I know my chances of getting into UCLA and UC Berkeley are good, but what about Ivies? i.e. Yale, Columbia, Princeton, even Stanford?</p>

<p>Are there good financial aides for these schools as an English major?</p>

<p>Also, I read somewhere in the forums that if you get your major from one university that its nearly impossible to enter the post-grad program of the same university. Is this true, even for an English major?</p>

<p>yo man. depends on your high school grades and ec's with privates. what were they?</p>

3

<p>i dun think princeton accepts transfer</p>

4

<p>pellman, you need to post more detailed description of your stat.
Your ECs, employment/volunteer history, SAT I/SAT II scores, High School GPA,</p>

<p>keep in mind that a 3.88 at a CCC will be viewed as weaker than a 3.88 at a 4-year university...sucks, that's the way it is. Work hard to bring it up and do independent research or something outside of class to show your passion a/b academics. And make sure you have the most difficult courseload at your CCC.</p>

<p>which do you think would be the easiest to transfer from cc:</p>

<p>1.) Stanford
2.) University of Chicago
3.) Cornell</p>

7

<p>Chicago by far...not to say Chicago is easy, but Stanford and Cornell are incredibly hard to transfer into, whereas Chicago has a pretty generous rate.</p>

8

<p>alright, I'm applying to Chicago ;)</p>

9

<p>no wait nevermind Cornell is actually the easiest</p>

<p>you stay away from Chicago.</p>

10

<p>If you want to be treated like crap, apply to Chicago :)</p>

11

<p>dhl3- if you are a male stay as far away from U of Chicago as possible. I have a friend who goes there and he hates it. He says the girls are absolute beasts. They make Berkeley girls look like supermodels.</p>

<p>Eloquent, yet how true.</p>

13

<p>how are they beasts?</p>

14

<p>Yes, let's generalize the entire female student body. Man, are you intelligent!</p>

15

<p>"Eloquent, yet how true."
There was really no better way to put it. My friend showed me pictures and on average, the girls are awful looking.</p>

<p>Ever hear this slogan?
“The University of Chicago - Where the squirrels are cuter than the girls.”</p>

<p>Coincidently, one of the ugliest girls from my high school goes there. The funny thing is that she actually has a boyfriend (for the first time ever). The guys there must be pretty desperate.</p>

16

<p>haha i bet you guys are reeeeeaaallly hot.</p>

<p>1) Princeton doesn't take transfers, Stanford isn't an ivy.
2) Financial aid at these schools are predominantly allocated based on financial need. Your choice of major would not be a factor.
3) It's not nearly impossible to enter a graduate program at your alma mater. They do like fresh blood to enliven the intellectual atmosphere, but if your grades/recs are good enough and your heart is set on it, there's nothing stopping you.</p>
