4.0 GPA = Accepted by Ivy?

Shortly, am I more likely to get accepted as a transfer student to a really good school with a 4.0? Or, in general, chances are the same as for average students?

Thank you comment icon Hi Andrei, great question. Generally, students with higher GPA's have higher chances at getting into ivy league schools. However, you have to keep in mind that even with a perfect GPA, admission rates for great schools are still really competitive. GPA alone is not enough to get you there. You will need other things on your resume like a high SAT score, internship experience, volunteer hours, a plethora of extracurricular activities, and an outstanding essay. I hope this helps and I wish you the best! Mireia

<span style="background-color: transparent;">Collegeboard.org is a great resource for this! I poured through the pages of universities all over the U.S. when I was a senior in high school. Collegeboard was my go-to site! They put all of the information in one place and it is very easy to use. They even have various filters you can apply to see only colleges that have programs you are interested. To determine academic rigor, look at the admissions requirements, G.P.A. of past admitted applicants, SAT/ACT scores, class rank etc. This will give you an idea of what scores and grades you need to be accepted. However, don't be discouraged your application will be reviewed based on the full picture! College-board will help you get an idea of what is most important to the specific school you are applying to.</span>
