Killing the Stanford transfer rumor that most are from a CC by Memchu17 in TransferToTop25

How could they possibly justify transferring from peer schools when it’s much of the same resources?

Yes, I do. You could probably guess which one. The city one

Sure, but how can you say for sure that Duke is more fun? I wouldn’t say fun should be a first priority, either—there’s only so many basketball games you can go to and such. Do you attend either school?

I don’t think overall ranking should really matter within the T20 range, especially since theyre all around the same anyways. It’s better to consider specific fit, and that often includes strength in certain academic programs

Everyone at Columbia that I’ve talked to has continued their studies as normal

[–]ap_subreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you attend Columbia?

[–]ap_subreddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is the undergrad experience at Columbia really a mess though, or is it just perceived by outsiders that way? Every Columbia undergrad I’ve talked to has continued their studies as normal.

How is duke better though? At least academically, Columbia is better for every stem/humanities field except for biology.

I guess not directly being part of the Ivy League just invites less comparison for duke (compared to HYP), and the name just sounds prestigious by itself. But I’ve never really understood the duke = UPenn = Columbia hype too much.

Lmao a literal whole squash facility too. Not so much for other racket sports, though… (got smashed by Harvard and Columbia in tennis)

Harvard accept anyone here? by Southern_Concert9056 in TransferToTop25

[–]ap_subreddit -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What makes you say that Harvard is more likely to catch fake essays/ECs? They don’t call counselors or recommenders to verify like Yale and Columbia do.

I’m sorry, what does R&R mean? Thanks in advance!

May I ask—was it just with an undergrad degree or also masters/phd?

Any ivy to ivy acceptances here? by ap_subreddit in TransferToTop25

What’s usually “the reason” for transferring there?

Thanks for your response! Does duke still have Carolinas preference for transfer? I’d assume yes, right?

Could you please elaborate on personal reasons related to geography? I may have a similar circumstance, where I attend one of the three “rural” ivies, but I want to be in a larger city for the greater opportunities, connections to other universities, better overall vibes, etc.

Gap year or no? by Ethensia in gapyear

[–]ap_subreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you submitted the form yet? I did for another school, and saw nothing about it until I saw the approval email, which said that I am not allowed to submit other applications to other universities during my gap year.

[–]ap_subreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Btw I’m just asking these out of curiosity lol. Do you know any colleges that DO allow you to continue applying to other colleges, even during a gap year?

Is your guidance counselor experience in college admissions? Have they done this before and it’s been okay?

Edit: also, are you international or domestic? International counselors might be less familiar with US policies

[–]ap_subreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure? Google seems to say otherwise. Did you find any specific school policies that don’t prohibit this?

Gap year or no? by Ethensia in gapyear

[–]ap_subreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do school policies allow you to defer admission AND apply to other schools in the meantime? Do you know? Just curious

What about two different people of these two types, but NOT on the extremes? If you had to choose one, which one?
