<p>Did a crappy job in high school 2,8 , but im a sophomore in college now. 4.0 at georgia state university, looking to transfer to any ivy. 740 cr 490 math 680 writing 10/12 essay. History major, currently have taken 34 hours, almost all in liberal arts subjects: History, philo, english etc. want to transfer because i dont like the commuter feel of ga state (90 percent are commuters here) and because i think i can be more academically fulfilled at their respective institution. chance me at ivies please.</p>
<p>That 490 in math is going to seriously hurt your chances, can you retake the sat?</p>
<p>Please consider that the ‘Ivies’ are a sports conference. The schools vary in their selectivity, size, academic strengths, etc. If you want to get away from a commuter school and move to somewhere academically more challenging, there are many more schools to choose from than the 8 Ivy league schools.</p>
<p>0% chance</p>
<p>you probably want to look at other schools, a school like emory may accept you but even that seems like a long shot</p>
<p>I would look at some more less competitive schools. You have a stellar GPA, but your SAT scores (which may not be a major factor) are low. Also, the ivies (for Arts and Sciences) have very, very low acceptance rates. Penn is the highest at around 15%, Harvard is ~1%, Yale is around ~3%, Columbia is ~5%, Cornell is ~7%, and Brown is around 10% (I don’t know Dartmouth, and Princeton doesn’t have transfers). Don’t be fooled by the high(er) acceptance rates – kids who go to higher “ranked” schools will be applying to these universities as well. </p>
<p>Try looking at schools like BC, NYU, Rochester, Lehigh, Syracuse, Fordham. It’s a wide range, but I’m sure you would be very competitive there.</p>
