[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is miserable at an Ivy.

How are chances to transfer to a school like Vanderbilt or Duke or Northwestern?[/quote]

100% guarantee they will be just as miserable at Northwestern and Duke. We know multiple at those schools
And 3 different ivies(Harvard, Penn, Princeton). They are all harsh for a certain subset of students, yet amazing for others. If yours is not happy at an ivy it is likely they need to change to a school much less competitive such as BC or UVa  or UNC. Or an LAC ranked 5-20: still great but not WASP INTENSIVE. [/quote]

Disagree with the above post. Much depends upon one's reason/reasons for transferring.[/quote]

It does, but PP’s list of schools to transfer seem to be nothing more than top Power 4 schools with similar Ivy vibes and student bodies, but with better D1 sports.

Just seems like more prestige seeking vs perhaps really understanding why a kid is miserable at the Ivy and the type of school they really need.[/quote]
