<p>that didn't do it for numerous people, including nspeds and helen of troy.</p>
<p>Blackdream, they were rejected from Yale. The stats needed for UPenn, Brown, Darthmouth, and Cornell are probably not the same as those needed for Yale (or Harvard). I guess I'd throw Columbia in betweent those two groups.</p>
<p>*These are basically assumptions based on transfer acceptance rates from last year.</p>
<p>Of course, I have no idea if the OP has any specific Ivy(s) in mind.</p>
<p>my recommendation would be to just check the threads for decisions as they pop up on this forum and look at the stats of acceptees for each school. its random though- i was rejected at cornell arts and science, waitlisted at columbia, and accepted at yale</p>
<p>BlackDream,</p>
<p>I hate to break it to you, but Yale only accepts 30 out of around 700 applicants. I urge you to examine the stats both of northrams and hakbar, and render a new conclusion. There is no "magic formula" for getting admitted into such schools, and I am sure that there were plenty of individuals with the stats you cited (1600, 2100, and so forth) who were rejected.</p>
<p>I did not expect an acceptance letter from Yale, and neither should anyone else.</p>
<p>off topic, but Toph, did you get your user name from David Egger's "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius"?</p>
<p>Nope. My name is Christopher. My one cousin used to call me Topher when I was younger. My younger brother started calling me that too. Mutual friends of my brother and I tend to call me Topher or Toph now. Most of my other friends just call me Chris, my last name, or some nickname that will come up though. I mean Chris is such a common name that you'll get some variety. I like Toph because it's short, kind of different, and is still contains part of my name.</p>
<p>Yeah, that was kind of a long answer... haha.</p>
<p>My dad's friend who worked in harvard admissions for six years put it this way (and I agree): "I worked in admissions for six years, and I still don't know why I got in" </p>
<p>However, according to him, what mattered was that you had a good reason to transfer--they're all going to get a lot of bright-well-rounded kids who have done everything and have what are consideered to be "the stats" but it matters who you are as a person and why you want to go there. Just looking at the stats of those who have been rejected or accepted will give you few answers, or just confuse you. Places like Harvard and Yale, etc, don't have a logic.</p>
<p>and finally, don't (or try not to be) be scared by what other people say on here--take a chance and apply if you really want to go somewhere, it really can't hurt!</p>
<p>good luck,
Annie</p>
