<p>is it easier to get into the ivies if you are coming from another ivy? is it better to have an okay gpa from an ivy league or a 4.0 from a community college/less prestigious school?</p>
<p>Call me crazy, but I figure it would be easier to go from CC or really low prestige school to ivy than ivy to ivy. Because, you will have to have a really good reason to want to leave an ivy for another ivy, if that makes any sense.</p>
<p>GPA first. Then your essays. Then your college extracurriculars. Then your high school stats. Then the prestige of your college, etc. </p>
<p>That’s the way I’ve seen it, if that answers your question.</p>
<p>I agree with @Relevance. GPA is everything…which sucks because just one slip can make or break you.</p>
<p>really? i find it hard to believe that a really high gpa at a community college would outweigh a normalish gpa at a more prestigious school?</p>
<p>im in the same position as caronant… trying to transfer from an ivy to another</p>
<p>with a lowish/normal gpa (but i was sick last year when i was a freshman)</p>
