<p>is it worth to transfer from a state school to an ivy league school when you already have 90 credits at the state school and the ivy league school only accepts 60.. (youd lose 30)
i also heard that usually ivy league schools have grade inflation... they are hard to get into so you dont have to work as much once you are in... and graduate/med/dental schools know this - so your GPA is looked as better to graduate from a non-ivy league school (heard this from a Columbia student)
would you make the transfer to an ivy league school and lose an entire year? or would you just finish up at your current average state school?
(money is not an issue here - lets say they both schools are the same price)</p>
<p>You will have only one undergrad diploma, what do you want it to say?</p>
<p>ive head undergrad is not as important where you go... (ive heard all undergrad schools are basically the same)
where you went to graduate is what's most important and is what people will consider....</p>
<p>They're all the same?????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>They are all (pretty much) the same in what you learn. However teachers are different, and of a different caliber, as are the students. A friend of my family went to Cornell with, I believe, Ronald Stanley and they, along with a few others created a fund for the future, that has grown a ton, and they now use it for a yearly trip to some exotic location. That is something very rare at most schools, but those unique experiences are more common at those ultra selective schools.</p>
<p>There is a reason people go to those schools, they can do a lot, but you aren't going to be held back by a state school</p>
<p>Do you want to go to Columbia is the question you should be asking though.</p>
<p>Edit - That is one awkward sentence, but I'm not sure how to reword it, sorry.</p>
<p>no not columbia.. but columbia IS ivy league
whats this about ronald stanley.. i dont understand...
will it look better for graduate schools that i went from a state school to an Ivy league?...</p>
