<p>hey guys my dream college was Columbia but i was rejected ED
then my second-third choice was Cornell=Brown, but i was rejected in RD ...</p>
<p>right now, i'm accepted to Johns Hopkins, emory, UCLA, vanderbilt and some other universities
so, among those i want to go to Johns Hopkins but really
i'm not positive if i will like it...</p>
<p>So, i'm thinking about transferring to Columbia
maybe i'll try my hardest and hope for Yale</p>
<p>but someone told me it's easier to transfer to Ivy from community college ???
is that true?? still, i don't want to go to CC just for transfer...</p>
<p>anyway
is it harder for me to transfer if i go to Johns Hopkins?</p>
<p>can you guys give me any tips? i'm completely knew to transfer-ing
thank you :)</p>
<p>no offense, but i think you’re looking at college the wrong way. i might understand if you couldn’t get into a great college from hs and plan to transfer to a more prestigious one, but in your case you’re into some of the best colleges in the world. i suggest going to one of them without planning on transferring. if you end up not liking it, then maybe transfer. but don’t plan to transfer to columbia, brown, cornell, etc. already just because your dream is the ivy league. gl! </p>
<p>p.s. if you’re able to get good grades, it’s obviously better to transfer to those colleges from a school like jhu than a cc.</p>
<p>Agree with north_face, it’s time to move on and give whatever school you enter next fall a full chance. Particularly with the incredible schools you have to choose from, there’s absolutely no reason to look back and yearn for what might have been.</p>
<p>

<p>Yale’s transfer rate is about 2%, that’s 20+ accepted each year (counting soph and jr transfers). I can’t cite Columbia’s acceptance rate, but it won’t be a whole lot higher. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>At least for Y, that’s absolutely false. They accepted 1 CC transfer last fall and 1 the year before (data from my D and another Y transfer from this forum).</p>

<p>Honestly, give yourself a little time to get over the disappointment of not getting into your top schools and then get yourself excited about the school you choose. You usually find what you look for in life, and if you enter thinking you’re going to be happy and fulfilled, that’s likely what will happen. I’ve been through the process with my D and believe me, you don’t want to do it unless you really have to.</p>
