<p>does it hurt your chance of transfering to ives (HYP specifically) if you applied to a college senior year and was rejected but has pretty solid stats freshmen year in college? like... would it work better for u if u never applied senior year and just apply freshmen as a transfer?</p>
<p>like... does it work against u if u applied previously and was rejected? i didnt really care about my essays so i think that was my weak point and that's why i was rejected.</p>
<p>No, it actually helps since it demonstrates your continued interest in attending that institution.</p>
<p>I would say that it is positive for schools that care about "demostrated intrest". That is, colleges that give bonuses if you call them up or visit.</p>
<p>Other colleges, like stanford, say they dont care about demostrated intrest and thus wouldnt care if you applied before. When I asked the admissions office at stanford they said they dont care just like they dont care if you visit.</p>
<p>I cant think of any way that it would hurt you.</p>
<p>so many people apply to the ivies and get rejected there will be tons of people like you. they wont be surprised to see you've surprised before. they'll say oh, and i think his dog applied too.</p>
