<p>Is there any difference in chances between top-tiered schools? (specifically, Dartmouth, Brown, and Duke?)
Thanks</p>
<p>Relatively speaking, not really. Some may have a little higher acceptance rate but they are still usually very low for the most part.</p>
<p>Round about the same. (5-10%) It also varies from year to year and can be difficult to predict exactly.</p>
<p>Intuitively there should be a slight difference, since higher tiered schools have higher performing students. Going to a specific University just because they have a higher transfer rate is probably a bad idea. Look for ones that can better cater to your interests and endeavors.</p>
