Is it TOUGHER transferring after Sophmore year in college to an IVY LEAGUE...??

<p>Hey, I guess this is a a general question for Ivy League transfer admissions because with Upenn, Brown, Dartmouth students as well since they are on par as far as transferring is concerned....</p>

<p>Is it difficult to transfer out of a college after two years into an Ivy. That is, would I face a tougher chance attending Notre Dame for 2 years and then trying to transfer into an IVY such as Brown, Penn, and Dartmouth, or is it best to try after Freshman year...?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Actually colleges generally prefer transfers after sophomore year for junior year admission. However, it is very difficult to transfer into the ivies even then.</p>

<p>i remember someone on these forums saying that they read about 2 kids who transferred from community college and into yale, so it's possible... it's probably even tougher to get into Ivy as a transfer than it is as a freshman though...</p>

<p>Any other input?</p>

<p>Why would you want to transfer from ND to an Ivy?</p>

<p>I don't mean to be critical, but I was wondering, because it seems like minimal improvement.</p>

<p>Just curious...I am thinking of it more on a particular academic reason as far as my major is concerned...that is I am planinng on getting my basic early credits finished (which you can get at any university), but I am targeting research opportunities which the some of the Ivies I have looked at have greater scope than at Notre Dame.</p>

<p>Which is a better exam to take in highschool for Ivy league A-Level or AP?</p>

<p>I thought this looked familiar, and I see that eight of your twenty posts are related to this, hmmm, regardless I would recommend AP over any other type of exam.</p>

<p>Paying nothing for two years going to a cheap college, transferring, and still getting that diploma saying 'Graduated from Princeton University'? Yeah, it would be interesting to hear if there are any negatives to being a transfer.</p>

<p>What about transfering between top 10 schools if the top 10 school you attend doesn't workout? I've seen some people who seem to do this, but I'm wondering if one has a good shot as long as they've done well in college.</p>

<p>That's fine as long as it isn't WUSTL ewwww</p>

How about being stuck without a roommate you like, when all the juniors have moved off campus, or being stuck outside social groups because everyone has already made their cliques on campus?</p>

<p>out of curiousity, GPAsux, why "ewww" about WUSTL?</p>
