<p>I applied for transfer to MIT and Stanford this year and didn't get in. I am currently in McGill University and I personally don't want to transfer unless it's to something like Princeton, Stanford, MIT or Caltech. I am currently entering my sophomore year. Is it worth applying for transfer for the next year or am I wasting my time given my stats: In addition, is there anything I can do over the next year to possibly improve my chances?</p>
