<p>If your in an Ivy and want to transfer to a different Ivy how hard is it? Is it slightly easier, would you think, since I mean you're already part of the "Ivy community"? Just curious.</p>
<p>I think it doesn’t matter if you go to an ivy already. There is a transfer application that is the main criteria as to whether you get in or not. But being in an ivy league college will help if you get high grades and they may take you more seriously from the start. </p>
<p>I wouldn’t transfer among ivies unless it was like from cornell to harvard. To me, transfering from a school like Colombia to Harvard is pointless. Plus, at some point the name game is pointless too.</p>
<p>When evaluating transfer admissions, the committees place a lot of emphasis on college grades, high school grades, letters of recommendation, and (very important) WHY you want to transfer; where you are transferring from probably has little, if any, relevance. If you’re applying to transfer to Harvard, I don’t think someone from Yale has an edge over something from Swarthmore or Berkeley jut because he goes to Yale.</p>
<p>Well Harvard and Princeton aren’t accepting transfers so you’re limited if upward mobility is your intention.</p>
<p>Harvard’s hold on transfer students is supposed to be termporary (who knows if it will be) while Princeton never accepts transfer students.</p>
<p>nobromo – I applaud your curiosity, but it really is a moot point, isn’t it? – Consider your grammatical and spelling errors:</p>
<p>Transfering = Transferring
Amoung = among or better yet, between
your = you’re
Ivy = Ivy,
I mean = (redundant, remove both words, since I doubt you’d write earnestly and NOT mean it)</p>
<p>Goodness gracious sakes alive! (a Coach John Wooden favorite means of swearing). Is this writing typical of high school students these days? If you were indeed accepted into Penn, I can only conclude that someone actually english-proficient proofread all your high school writing before turning in, and someone proof read your Penn application to clean it up.</p>
<p>^^ Someone near and dear to me has been shocked at the poor writing skills of a number of his Ivy classmates. It is very unfortunate and it really hurts the college GPA.</p>
<p>Also, Brown only takes a few transfers some years (it varies year to year) and leans towards URMs coming from community colleges.</p>
<p>DunninLA, the kid is writing online. Give him/her a break. All I know is that transferring into Ivies is really, really, tough, way harder than getting in as a hs senior.</p>
<p>It definitely helps to be from a peer school.</p>
