<p>I still havent decided which uni to go to but, if i do end up going to an average university am i eligible to transfer to an ivy (i mean good grades, activities etc i have those) could i transfer to like cornell?? from ANY university? or will there be curriculum issues or such?</p>
<p>Transferring to elite privates is significantly harder than getting into them through freshman admissions. Moreover, you need a compelling reason for why rather than just wanting to “move up”. The transfer success rates are incredibly low because too many students who couldn’t get in the first time around see transferring as a second chance. It’s not. It’s for cases of disastrous fit or wanting a major not available at the current school or something else to that effect. If you’re <em>already</em> planning to transfer before even attending another school, then clearly your motivations are in the “moving up” category.</p>
<p>Simple, blunt version: Too many people out there think like you. Every year, all of you fail. Even outstanding students have almost no chance so worrying about curriculum issues is silly.</p>
<p>oh geeez my family lives in NY i didnt get in any NY uni so thats why i want to transfer.
ur a sad person every1 has a right of keeping high hopes why were urs crushed repeatedly that ur putting other people down?</p>
<p>and it doesnt NEED to be cornell it could be uni of wisconsin, michigan, gosh sado.</p>
<p>Oh, I’m not a “sad person”. After all, I’m not the desperate reject here who types “ur” and “every1” and thinks they’re Ivy material. And who said you can’t keep high hopes? I’m merely saying they’re highly irrational.</p>
<p>Anyway, state universities are much easier to transfer into. But in case you failed geography, Wisconsin and Michigan aren’t in the Northeast, thus not fitting your supposed motivation for wanting Cornell.</p>
<p>Have a nice day.</p>
<p>i didn’t know wisconsin and michigan were in new york…</p>
