Hello everyone,
I am a first year undergraduate
Ivy league transfer admissions are even more difficult than Freshman admits. No one can chance you without Stats but even with those, consider your chances as a Reach. Apply broadly and do not focus just on the Ivy leagues.
Very long shot–but it is for even the most qualified. Princeton accepts no transfers, Harvard accepts about 1% of all applicants, and Yale is at a little under 2%. Most transfer seats are tethered to attrition, but with attrition at Ivy schools in the low single digits, there are very very few seats even available. Do your homework, and best–
You almost certainly won’t get in. It’s extremely competitive and you haven’t mentioned any compelling accomplishments.
I’d say about a 0.25% chance at most. Being from India is even worse when it comes to admissions. You might get into a state school though.
Sorry for forgetting to mention my details, I was unable to edit my post. I’ve listed them below:
