@Studious99 In my experience, students who successfully transfer from ED ivies to HYPS tend to have connections. I have known a couple of Penn people who transferred to Harvard and Yale not too long ago and they both had connections. Same thing i have heard about a friend of a friend from Columbia who transferred to Yale. It makes sense though. lets be real the only reason anyone would transfer from a place like Penn or Columbia to Harvard or Yale is extra prestige, not extra opportunities. You would need to have connections to make Harvard or Yale use one of their VERY few transfer spots on you rather than one of the many other applicants from lower tier schools who would genuinely benefit from the transfer.
