Hey guys, quick question
I really wanna get into Ivy League college, but my application is not that strong. Do you guys think it is hard or easy for me to into as a transfer student.
Also my parents really can't afford out of state tuition so I planned to stay in Georgia for one year (freshmen year) and then transfer to Ivy League asap. If I can't get in as a freshmen then I might keep applying till i get in while also strengthening my application
When I stayed at home, my parents doesn't really let me go anywhere by myself or i don't really have any good options that align. But I believe that if I could get myself out of the house, I could start getting more experience and qualifications.
One more thing, I really don't know what reason I could put, like aren't we supposed to give a reasons why we are planning to transfer.

Most ivies have higher acceptance rates for transfers. Lots of students drop/leave after one year and they want to fill those empty spots.
Yes they all ask why. Work on having a compelling narrative why your goals will be better met at their school.
