<p>No shot at Princeton because they don't accept transfer students.</p>

<p>Other than that just apply and hope for the best.</p>

<p>Thanks for the quick post. However, realistically, do you guys think I would be a good match against the competition, generally speaking?</p>

<p>I think transfer admissions is the ultimate definition of crapshoot, as at most of these places the transfer acceptance rate is much lower than the regular acceptance rate, usually like an abysmal 1-2%.</p>

<p>MIT transfers are virtually unheard of, unless the school needs to beef up it math team with a few olympians. Take it off the list.</p>

<p>I highly doubt it's a crapshoot. Princeton is the only institution to which you'll have 0 percent of successfully transferring to.</p>

<p>You look very competitive.</p>

<p>There are eight colleges in the Ivy League. </p>

<p>Ivy</a> League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia </p>

<p>Two, Harvard and Princeton, won't be accepting transfer applications. </p>

<p>You may have a chance at some of the colleges you mention. The thing to do is to apply.</p>
