Chances Of Brown To Harvard/yale/columbia Transfer?
Hello,
I’m a sophomore at Brown University, most likely concentrating in Economics. My tuition is becoming pricey & the financial aid that Harvard offers is especially enticing, though I’m slightly ashamed to admit that the prestige is nice as well.
I just want to know my chances of transferring into Harvard or one of the other more well-known Ivy colleges. So far, I have one B out of 8 classes; the rest are A’s or Satisfactory. I’ve taken the following classes my freshman year:
1. Principles of Economics (unfortunately, I got a B in this class)
2. Intro to Comparative Politics
3. World of Byzantium
4. Spanish 600: Writing (Satisfactory)
5. Intro to Econometrics
6. Intermediate Microeconomics
7. Intro to Academic Writing (Satisfactory; this was mandatory S/NC)
8. Computer Science (Matlab & C)
Next semester I’m planning to take:
1. Intermediate Macroeconomics
2. Intermediate Calculus (mainly Taylor polynomials, integrals, etc.)
3. Intermediate Chinese
4. Intro to Environmental Science (w/Lab)
5. Choir
I’m also the Director General for Brown’s Model UN Team. I’ve worked at a law office before, & this summer, I worked for Abercrombie & Fitch & Claire’s (and hated it; all body & no brains…). Btw, should I also do volunteer work in college?
I’ve done my research & I know that the “average” transfer acceptance is around 3 or 4%. However, I’ve heard that transferring between Ivy Leagues is much easier, but I haven’t been able to find the info I was looking for. It’d be much appreciated if anyone could help me out.
Thanks.
Oh, & here are my high school stats, in case they’re relevant.
GPA: 4.0
SAT: 2350 (800 Verbal/ 780 Math/ 770 Writing)
President of Mock Trial Club
Over 250 hrs of community service
AP Scholar with Honor ( I got 4s or higher on 6 AP’s)
SAT subject tests: 800 Chem/ 800 Math IIC/ 780 History
Piano for 6 years, level 8 ( I took the official test)
If there’s any other stats/info that’ll help, let me know.
Appreciate it.
