<p>Which is easier to get into ivy leagues?</p>
<p>Let's say you did NOT get into one of the top schools as a senior in high school.</p>
<p>And you go to a top tier, for example, University of Chicago, or UCLA , or Berkeley, or Michigan</p>
<p>Assuming you achieve 3.8-4.0 overall college GPA at those top tiers, would it be "easier" to transfer to top schools than applying to those schools as freshman? </p>
<p>(theoretically...Transfer stats are VERY LOW...)</p>
<p>It depends on what else you do. Ivy leagues are generally very difficult to get into as transfer students. Work hard, do well... and I'd advise you to wait to years instead of one if you already applied once. You want to establish yourself as a college student: give them more to work with.</p>
<p>And if you're at Chicago, I wouldn't recommend transferring to an Ivy, because Chicago is BADDDDASSSSS.</p>
<p>UCLA, Berkeley and Michigan are all large public universities, while Chicago is a small private university. They cannot be compared. Trying to transfer from Chicago to Harvard is like trying to transfer from Columbia to Harvard: youl'll be asked why you're doing it over and over again, and you damn well better have a good reason.</p>
<p>It's extraordinarily easy to fudge a reason. You could state location if you wanted to. Or that you like the environment, the campus, better. That it's always been your dream.</p>
