<p>If I was applying as a transfer, would I have a better shot getting into General Studies than Arts and Sciences? Or are they equal?</p>
<p>do you mean for grad school? because the undergrad school for arts and sciences here is called columbia college.. i would think that yes, you would have a better chance of getting into general studies, but i thought that only a specific non-traditional type of person was sought for that school, so people interested in arts&sciences wouldnt also be interested in GS. - i could be wrong.</p>
<p>No, you're are probably right. I was pretty confused on what it was as well, but that makes sense. Could you see my stats on the transfer board..."Help!... Kinda long (but thorough).. where should I go" or something along those lines. Would I even have a shot transferring into Columbia College if I tried?</p>
<p>im not sure about exact or recent stats, but i believe the transfer acceptance rate into columbia college is about 2%. basically it's a crapshoot, might as well give it a try.</p>
<p>My god, is that the hardest division undergrad? Do you think I could have a chance at any other ivy?</p>
<p>i dont think princeton even accepts transfers, and the other ivy transfer rates are probably just as low as columbia's. i heard cornell's was like 30% but that number was completely accurate, but i dont remember the reason. columbia college is the most selective school at columbia - barnard is pretty open toward transfer but their acceptance rate is pretty low too (like 25%?) and i dont know about seas or gs.</p>
<p>Ok great, thank you so much for your help. I'm going to try Dartmouth, Brown, Columbia, UPenn and Cornell. Hopefully, I get lucky and they take a chance on me.</p>
<p>Actually I believe Columbia College's acceptance rate was about 10% last year. Of the Ivies, Brown and Cornell are the easiest with rates between 20-30%. Dartmouth is usually between 10-15% and Penn is about 15-20%. It all changes year over year but lately Brown has been the one to give a shot. Yale is the hardest Ivy, harvard is a little easier.</p>
