USC -> Ivy League (Junior Transfer)

<p>OP, your college stats are looking good. However, here’s the thing: they don’t exist. You’ve spent, what, 5 weeks in college? You might not even have taken your first midterm yet, let alone final. Haven’t even gotten through half a semester. Haven’t seen a single final grade for a class. Yet you’ve already predicted stats for the next 2 years. Your HS gpa is “not spectacular” and your SAT is below avg for the Ivy leagues. Your EC’s are not impressive. </p>

<p>I’m sure you have a good idea of your own intelligence, and you sound smart. But your HS stats are way too low for the schools you want, and your college stats don’t exist. Harvard and Yale sometimes take no transfers - 0% of applicants. ZERO. NADA. ZIP. Stanford’s acceptance rate is under 1%. If you can work your tush off for the next 2 years, get the college gpa you’ve predicted (try for >3.90), have amazing reccs, amazing EC’s, super leadership skills, etc, then you’ll have a chance.</p>

<p>But you coming here and posting stats for the next 2 years based on a month of college would be like a HS freshman who’s spent a month in HS coming on the HYS board and being like “well, it’s been a couple weeks, I predict I’ll have a 4.0, so…chance me!”</p>

<p>To give you some perspective, my stats are higher than yours, and I wouldn’t dream of those schools. I’m considering Cornell as a huge reach, their acceptance rate is 10% and I’m worried.</p>
