<p>Is this possible? So should I be practicing my SAT's and other stuffs as a freshman? How is transfer FA compared to that of new students?</p>
<p>Please tell me anything that relates to this topic. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>it's tough. you would need near perfect gpa, near perfect essays, ecs, and very strong SATs just to qualify for the admission to these schools. Also, the fact that the transfer admit rate for MIT and Stanford is like 2.5% (not sure exactly) certainly doesn't help.</p>
<p>on the other thought, you should give yourself a chance to explore your new school with open mind. don't go in there thinking about transferring when you didn't take a single course yet. Additionally, it is unlikely that you will get into those schools statistically, so it would be wise and productive of you to focus on Cornell for now.</p>
<p>Transferring into MIT is even tougher than getting admitted as a freshman. Hardly anybody tranfers out. In addition, MIT underestimated the yield in the last few years and ended up enrolling fairly large classes to start with.</p>
<p>i wouldn't want to. You're at an Ivy school, you've made it. Be happy!</p>
