IVY Transfer

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am attending Clarkson University and I would like to transfer to an Ivy league school. I don’t know what my chances are so I am asking for your opinion. I am considering schools like MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Berkley etc.
Here’s is how I stand:</p>

<p>Freshman
GPA: 4.00
Senate Representative (College Government)
Serving on several comities.
High SAT Scores. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>your chances at those four ivy league schools are impecable, especially at princeton.</p>

<p>hahahahaha that gave me a good laugh darkstarr. nice joke</p>

4

<p>what is so funny, if I may ask?</p>

<p>why don't you give your stats?</p>

5

<p>What's funny is that "comities" is spelled "committees" and that Princeton does not accept transfers. You might want to come up with a more realistic list.</p>

6

<p>Also, of the four you mentioned, only Princeton is an Ivy...</p>

7

<p>Whatever. </p>

<p>Now go reread another 500 posts and try to find other mistakes ok. Because I guess you have nothing else to do (nothing smarter at least)</p>

<p>LOL, this is a cruel post to the topic's creator, but funny nonetheless. Haha!</p>

<p>dude the guy was picking you apart. first of all, the subject of your post is "ivy transfer". in your comment, you stated only one ivy league school (Princeton), which doesnt even accept transfer students. </p>

<p>although theres not a lot of detail, from the looks of it, your stats are excellent. i was just simply acknowledging something hilarious.</p>

<p>Look, Vido, I think you're in good shape, as far as stats go. If you want more helpful responses, though, you might bother to actually find any information whatsoever on the schools you're considering, list more specific stats, and for God's sake, spell check (on your essays, obviously). I wasn't exactly trying to nitpick.</p>

<p>if you want a decent shot at the schools you mentioned, be sure you are also applying with stats including:</p>

<p>top 5% of high school
SATs above 700 for each section
brilliant essays</p>

<p>you will need the flawless record since you're only a freshman.</p>

<p>I suppose you have a pretty good shot at those colleges. I was a student at the Clarkson School(early college entrance program at Clarkson University) last year and earned a 4.0 my first semester at Clarkson. My SAT scores were pretty good(710, 710) and I had some EC's in highschool and at Clarkson but not a huge amount. I ended up getting rejected by Cornell and waitlisted by Harvey Mudd and Carnegie Mellon. I ended up at Case Western Reserve University(I wouldn't recommend Case to anyone who doesn't love pointless classes and beauracracy). Anyway, it might help to know specifically what your SAT scores are and your grades in highschool since SATs and highschool grades will probably still be pretty significant since the colleges only have one full semester of college grades to judge you on. </p>

<p>Oh, if you happen to ask Dr.Jim for a recommendation, be sure to ask him periodically whether he's sent it until he says he's sent it because he can be forgetful like that(he'll most likely tell you the same thing when you ask him about it).</p>
