<p>Hey all,</p>
<p>I'm a student who got a 1990, and then 2160 on the SAT. I've been denied at all the Ivies, and WL at Penn. </p>
<p>I'd like to transfer to an Ivy (Penn, Harvard, Yale, Princeton). I've been successful in Canada, and I think the fact that I've been wait listed stands for something. </p>
<p>Should I retake the SAT? I really think I can nail a 2400 - if I put in enough time. Also, what do I need to do in freshman year to improve my odds of transferring into HYP/Penn?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>0% at Princeton (no transfers), 1% at Harvard, 2% at Yale, 9% at Penn. I got stuck at a Canadian university as well. They suck–you’ll see. They are very large, unfriendly, no one lives on campus, there are no research opportunities, class sizes with 300+ people, etc. Realistically, Penn is your only chance. I recommend applying to a bunch of them; I took the shotgun approach myself due to extremely low acceptance rates.</p>
<p>I got wait listed - I hope that counts for something! What university are you at?</p>
