Transferring to Stanford and Ivies with a 2.0?

east89: Don’t you have a hard time believing some of that stuff though? It makes for a great story but I find it hard to believe at word of mouth. Well, looks like it is possible then.</p>

<p>I think Princeton may be too snobby so they might not accept transfers.</p>

<p>Also everyone, chance me on my topic plz! I have received no replies so far.

<p>Honestly, I believe most of the posters on here have no reason to lie. That’s not to say that there aren’t a couple of fabulists in that thread, but a lot of them have stuck around the board after they transferred into more prestigious schools, so if they were lying, someone probably would have called their bluff by now. It’d be pretty hard to keep up that lie anyway, since I know some of them post on their school’s section of the board and speak about aspects of the school that only students would know about, such as social life.</p>

<p>I believe Princeton did at one time accept transfers, but they changed their policy just like Harvard.</p>

<p>I can’t really help you with the chances though :(</p>

Well, excuse me, I wasn’t trying to establish any particular source of argument with you other than to generalize a statement that people usually would precede such a selection of schools over the other ones. I never asked you to give me the percentage rate of acception into these schools as a transfer(as I have known them way before you did) nor did I request an anecdotal research from you. Matriculation into a less prestigious school usually allows you the opportunity to recreate the endurance of being able to get accepted into those schools as collegiate career continues. But since it digresses the generalization, no need to get too profoundly impetuous here.

<p>Just so you know, I didn’t type that post with malicious intent. You said that most people would prefer to go to more selective schools such as Yale, Stanford or MIT over Cornell. I simply said that while these schools may be more world renowned, other very prestigious universities are not as difficult to transfer into. It seemed to me that you were trying to make a point regarding transfer admissions, but I guess not.</p>

<p>Also, since I don’t know you and you also do not know me, let’s try to not make assumptions over who knew the transfer admission rates of certain colleges first. I don’t see how it would make a difference anyway, but I figured I would just address that since you spoke about it.</p>
