General consensus here is that transfers pay sticker. H and Y definitely wouldn't give a dime, probably neither would any other T14

H and Y do not give merit based financial aid. They apportion aid based on need. Thus, you could get financial aid depending on your financial situation. I know H takes your parent's finances into account for students under 29.

Thank you for the replies. Is there any common knowledge in terms of my chances for the schools I listed?

top 3% at a T14 gives you a shoe-in at Columbia/NYU. As for H/Y/S, I'd say good chances at H, but Y and S I have no idea.

I'd echo this, and also say good chances at YS too (not as good as for H, but not far off)

I'll also note that based on other threads, you've got a lot of competition from georgetown applying for transfer this year...

To early to tell. Focus on your studies second semester and knock it out of the park again, which you will likely do. Then discuss.

Read your PM.

Yale has taken one GULC student per cycle for the past three cycles. I don't know if there is a specific percentage threshold at which you could possibly have a "good" chance, but top 2.5% at GULC is mighty good--it's certainly worth applying. And FYI, I know several YLS transfers who got more money there than at their old school.

There are anywhere from 14-17 kids in the top 2.5%, and Y/S took a total of 1 combined. That doesn't tell you how many people applied/were accepted/ended up going, but assuredly, that number was higher than one.
