Don’t apply to an ivy as a transfer?

I got into two ivies from a community college. Two other people in my class went from a CC to an ivy, too. It happens all the time.



For every transfer student who gets accepted into an Ivy League school, there are at least nine others who are rejected. The average transfer acceptance rate for Ivy League universities is well below 10%, with Brown and Cornell being the two out of eight over 10%. Even then, Cornell’s transfer acceptance rate is inflated as guaranteed transfers make up at least 200 of the acceptances.

So while you and your friends might have gotten in, there are many, many people who were rejected.
