<p>i am currently in long island university as a freshman
sat: 1120
high school gpa: 3.3
im an excellent creative writer who can write a good essay
i am an artist, and have been in many art galleries throughout high school
alot of extracurricular activities</p>
<p>this year for my first semester, i have a 4.0 GPA</p>
<p>do i have any chance of getting into any Ive League schools for the fall of 2006?</p>
<p>I'd wait some more before you apply to a very competitive university like Yale. The longer you have a strong college "legacy," the less your grades and ACT scores from high school will count.</p>
<p>Yale says ; If you have received a bachelor's degree (or the equivalent) or if by the end of the current academic year you will have completed more than two full years toward the degree, you are not eligible to transfer to Yale, nor may you apply through the freshman admission process.</p>
<p>So, now is the best time to transfer I imagine...</p>
<p>If i do apply for the Fall of 2006, do I have ANY chance of making it with my gpa of 4.0?</p>
<p>Which Ivy Leagues have highest acceptance rates?</p>
<p>I meant wait another year or so to apply, but if you do decide to apply now, I honestly have no idea what your chances are. Your high school stats are pretty low for Yale even though your college record is right on target for them.</p>
<p>Overall your chances will be small for tha academic year 2204-2005 696 students applied as transfers, 26 were offered admission.</p>

<p>Looking to transfer now even as for sophmore year will make your slim chances even slimmer because you only have one term of college work under your belt and you have not really built any track record. With only one term of college, more emphasis is going to be placed on your high school record.</p>
<p>IF you are looking to attend grad. school, stay at LIU, continue to do well, and apply to Yale for grad school. My former BIL attended LIU, did extremely well and good GRE scores and got accepted to Duke, Columbia, Yale and Princteon for grad school. He is finishing his PhD at Princeton. So don't be afraid to hang in there.</p>
<p>i must leave liu, ive already made my decision to leave. so, with that being said, what about cornell or upenn? are my chances any greater? </p>
<p>i will be applying as a sophmore with 31 credits under my belt, isn't that what a transfer student is? Wouldnt these schools take into consideration that my college gpa is a 4.0 and that this will outweigh my low sat's? Ive applied myself this year...i know only a small percentage of transfers are accepted, but of this percentage, im sure mostly all of them have 4.0 as their college gpa. So with a good essay, and my 4.0, shouldn't i be taken into some consideration among the admissions commitee? Would cornell or upenn, or columbia be a better chance?</p>
<p>Your chances at Penn or Cornell are also going to be slim . </p>

<p>Dartmouth</p>
<p>312 applied for transfer 36 admitted</p>
<p>Cornell -across all schools </p>
<p>2011 applied 702 admitted</p>
<p>Don't let what you might perceive as a high rate at Cornell fool you (because as others have stated, it may be the easist to get into but it will be the hardest to get out).</p>
<p>Columbia and Penn do not post their numbers.</p>
<p>Keep in mind that there will also be students transferring from Peer institutions (from one ivy to another) and more "elite" schools and will have stronger high school records than what you are presenting. </p>
<p>At the end of the day you could do what ever you want, you asked for an assessment of your chances, which I normally don't do, but I want you to make an informed decision. Don't hang your hopes on getting into an ivy. No matter where you apply, you should cast a wide net and have a plan B in the event the Ivy transfer does not work out,</p>
<p>good luck</p>
<p>I think the 3.7% admit rate for Yale transfers says it all.</p>

<p>I believe the land grant part of the university has more to do with the higher rate. I suspect the private part is just as tough to get in.</p>

<p>Yes ... but they will still consider your high school GPA and test scores if you transfer after only one year. Most schools will just consider your college performance if you transfer after two years.</p>
<p>You said that you've shown in several galleries. What type of galleries were these (university, high-level private, public museum) and what kind of shows (group, solo, juried, etc.)? Your record within your field might matter more than your basic statistics.</p>
<p>yes -- they will still look at HS information -- test scores, GPA, etc. They are looking for a long term track record and will pair you high school information with your current college information. </p>
<p>If you were transferring from another Ivy or a top LAC and you had a 4.0 and you were in an honors program and you were taking upper level courses and you carried a heavy load of classes (18 hours) then you might have a chance -- and it would still be a chance.</p>
<p>I would say your chances at transferring to any Ivy very, very slim. If you are determined to transfer to another school, I would do some hard searching to find a school that better matches your stats and interests.</p>
<p>what about nyu?</p>
<p>Capodrew,</p>
<p>At the end of the day, it is not about choosing schools. the net-net is right now if you decide to transfer, the school only has one term of grades to evaluate you on (as your second semester grades will not be out yet). So the bulk of the weight in evalutating you will be your high school transcript and grades. This is the main reason people are telling you to wait another year. If you wait until this time next year, you have 3 semesters of college work under your belt and you will increase your chances of being admitted in the transfer process.</p>
<p>If you are looking to transfer for fall 2006, I think right now what you present may even be a bit low for NYU. On the slight chance you are admitted, you most likely will not receive any aid (because NYU does not meet 100% of demonstrated need, the gap heavily and are big on loans). will you be prepared to pay out the almost $45K cost of attendance to attend?</p>
<p>I don't know about NYU.</p>
<p>You need to look first at schools that meet your interests and major, then look at the stats of the freshmen they admit.</p>
<p>You will need to meet the stats of the freshmen with your high school stats -- your 4.0 college GPA will just assure them that you can do college level work.</p>
<p>Did your college work include any upper-level classes or honors? how many hours first semester?</p>
<p>Usually, you will be considered for admission after your freshman year if your high school stats matched people they originally admitted or just slightly below -- not a big amount below. Then they will look to the college grades to confirm. You can't use one semester of college to make up for lower high school stats. Usually after 2 full years of college, they will not look much at the high school records, but you will also find it harder and harder to transfer and complete a degree after 2 years.</p>
<p>Won't you have to wait another year to apply anyway? Aren't the application deadlines already mostly over for fall 2006?</p>
<p>so your saying that nobody at nyu has sat scores of 1120 or a gpa of 3.3? thats hard to believe....</p>
<p>It depends on what school you are looking to apply to at NYU. </p>
<p>IF you are looking to apply to stern (as you have not met their requirements for transfer admission) or CAS, I would say that your chances of being admitted is highly unlikley. There are going to be more students who will be in the transfer pool that will present stronger stats. RIght now I think that your h.s. gpa is really going to hurt you in the admissions process.</p>
<p>how about fordham, instead of nyu, do you think i have a better chance of making fordham?</p>
<p>f these ****ty schools......im applying to harvard.........what do you think my chances are?</p>
