<p>Does yale even have transfer spots. Im not some dumbass going to a community college hoping that if i do well there i will be able to go to an Ivy League. I am going to be a freshman at UC Berkeley who was so insecure and intimidated by the college app process i didnt even apply to any Ivy Leagues. I hope that if i do well enough at Cal ill be able to transfer. any chance?</p>

<p>It's extremely difficult to get into Yale by transferring there. It actually would have been easier to get into Yale if you had applied as a high school senior than if you plan on applying as a transfer. Out of all the Ivy League schools (excluding Princeton, which doesn't allow transfers), Yale has the lowest rate of acceptance. I believe the admissions rate for transfers is about 2%, compared to about 10% for high schoolers.</p>

<p>ctrain890, I'm thinking of going to a community college and then transfering to an IVY too. I don't know if this is the best path though, what GPA did you maintain at the community college. Also how would you know if the classes you want to take will transfer?</p>

<p>would it help to transfer if you were admitted as a freshman, but had compelling reasons not to attend at the time?</p>

<p>tnx for help</p>

<p>I didn't actually apply as a transfer; I was admitted as a freshman, and I had to defer due to medical reasons, so I attended a CC for a year... so my situation is slightly different. However, there were several people both from the school I went to and from a CC in the next town over who WERE admitted to Ivy's (Cornell, Harvard, and Brown) as transfers, so I definitely know from experience that it's more than possible. My issue with genx's comment was that he seemed to assume everyone who goes to community colleges is there because they are stupid and unmotivated, which is 100% false.</p>

<p>Abstar-you'd have to talk to both the admissions people at the schools you want to transfer into, and the office that deals with transfer affairs at the CC. They should be able to provide you with information about previous transfers, and that should give you an idea. I will say, however, that CC classes are not generally all that difficult, so it's probably safe to assume that if you plan on tranferring to a school that only accepts 2% transfers your GPA should be as close to 4.0 as possible.</p>

<p>sanguine- i'd say yes, but i don't really have any way of knowing for sure.</p>

<p>And if your SAT isn't strong, don't forget to retake.</p>

<p>Yale admits 4.4% of applicants, not 2%. They admitted 35 of about 800 last year.</p>

<p>to the OP: heres another "dumbass from a community college" who got into yale as a transfer- starting there in like 4 days. i had a 4.0 at the time of application and a 1530 sat with a lot of EC's and in the honors program, for the poster who asked about approximate stats to get in to an ivy as a transfer. also, duke1, my acceptance letter said only 24 were admitted this year.</p>

<p>see u fellow transfers at the transfer dinner friday!</p>
