Details: Latino (although I don’t look like one) , medical condition that is hard to manage and requires meticulous management everyday every hour. Low income. HS transcript Is does not truly reflect my grades because the new HS I transferred to messed my credits up and basically lowered all my grades significantly because of this.

please give me insight as how well qualified I look. I want to transfer to any ivy league. I live in California.
Thanks in advance for any response

CC students seem to be the most likely to get in.

It depends upon the Ivy League school. Some, like Harvard, only admit ~12/year. Others, like Cornell, admit closer to 300. But, I agree with @CU123 . Most (if not all) Ivy League schools prefer applicants who want to transfer because they can’t achieve their academic goals at their current college. So a transfer from, say, UChicago to Yale is not a likely occurrence.

The various Ivy League schools may vary considerably in what they look for in transfer students (beyond the basic stuff like top-end academic achievement at the prior college).

For example, Princeton’s public statements suggest what kind of transfer students it is looking for: https://www.princeton.edu/news/2018/05/09/princeton-offers-admission-13-students-reinstated-transfer-program

This article about Harvard transfer students suggests that Harvard is looking in different places for transfer students: https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2018/2/4/transfer-students/
