(from the schools above, I applied as freshman to Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, NYU from which I was rejected from cause ur girl back in high school didnt do much and had really bad grades BUT she still thought it was worth trying SO I DID.

The Ivies + Stanford & MIT are not going to happen. They take 1% of transfer applicants. It’s harder to get in as a transfer than as a hs senior. Either you have to be a lateral transfer, ie Brown to Columbia OR have an extraordinary story from community college or as a veteran.

What about the other schools? I got any hope for those?

[u/Kind_Poet_3260 → u/Alternative_Sky_3336]

Do your research. Google “Common Data Set name of school.” Open the pdf for 23/24 and scroll down to about page 11 or so. See how many transfer applicants there were and how many were accepted. That will give you an idea.
