I like NYU so far but I just wanna pursue a little bit more
Is it possible for me to get into ivy league?
really appreciate your help :>
What can you find at a specific Ivy League school that you couldn’t find at NYU or anywhere else? They will want you to answer this question. “Prestige” won’t count.
If I say I have never thought of prestige I must be lying, but there are more reasons I want to transfer. and NYU is just not that challenging for me…
If NYU isn’t challenging you, you could pick up a second major or another minor.
It’s always “possible” to transfer to an Ivy League but it’s hard. Ivy Leagues have low transfer acceptance rates because their retention is generally pretty high. Almost nobody wants to leave an Ivy League once they’ve gotten in.
Except Princeton, they don’t accept transfers right now. For the rest of them, you could go look at their “common data sets” and see what their transfer acceptance rate was last year to get a general sense of how competitive it is.
