Transfer to Yale from Georgetown

<p>So I'm nearing the end of my first semester at Georgetown University, and for reason I'm not really going to go into, I am considering transferring elsewhere (don't get me wrong, GU is a great school, I'm just not sure it was the best match for me). Anyway, as a question for anyone who is familiar with transfer admissions, how competitive would I be to transfer to Yale with a 4.0 from Georgetown? (all else equal) What about transferring to places like Columbia, Dartmouth, Stanford, Brown, or UPenn? I dont have my final grades yet for my classes but I am anticipating straight A's almost certainly.</p>

<p>There are lots of threads about Yale transfers. Check them out. A 4.0 from Georgetown would put you in a very good position, but the transfer rate is obscenely low. You need to articulate a really good reason for wanting to transfer and the generic stuff about why Yale is great that works for high school applicants doesn't cut it for transfers.</p>

<p>kovax, do you mind saying why Georgetown is not the school for you? I am applying to Georgetown (along with Yale!) but I too am not sure Georgetown is "the school for me". I'd love to hear about it from someone who goes there. You can PM me if you want.</p>
