<p>Hi,
I am a sophomore and in a state college currently. I am a math major and have been taking Junior and senior math courses since my second semester in college. I am an honor student, and have a 3.9 GPA. I am in the Golden Key Club, math club, and hiking club in my school. I have been working as a math TA for Cal II for a semester so far and will be most likely to keep doing this next semester. I am getting well along with my professors, and so I believe that they would like to give me recommendation letters. I am looking up these universities now and planning to apply some of them as a transfer: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, MIT, Chicago, UPenn, Dartmouth, Northwestern, Cornell, NYU, Boston College, Stanford, Berkley, Duke, Brown, Rice, Michigan, Vanderbilt, and etc. So I am wondering what my chances would be like among these schools. Please help and give me some suggestions. I will appreciate your answers very much! Thank you!</p>
<p>any one here has a clue?</p>
<p>please help</p>
<p>Okay, you want to transfer to a top university. Please tell me what courses you have taken so far.</p>
<p>Well they’re all extremely selective schools w/ really low acceptance rates but if anyone has one of the best shots at actually getting in it is definitely you!</p>
<p>thank you! I will try the best of my ability.</p>
<p>That’s a lot of colleges and essays, application fees, etc.
I wouldn’t even bother applying to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Yale, Columbia, etc. Since they only take a few transfers from each other usually.</p>
<p>I know they are all very selective, but at least I will give a try.</p>
<p>There’s no harm in giving it a try. You’ll be up there will all of the other strong applicants. The best way to distinguish yourself will be through your essays. Those will be the key in getting accepted to such difficult schools via transfer admission.</p>
<p>any suggestions on my essays?</p>
<p>Be different. Write about something that is unique or you’ll most likely just get lost among the other qualified applicants.</p>
