I'm at a community college (because I have no money, not because I'm stupid) and am presently trying to transfer to two "elite" schools. One says pretty explicitly that they don't guarantee that they meet full need for transfers, even though they brag about it for their 18 year old freshman applicants. The other seems more welcoming, but I'm still nervous. I don't know if I've gotten into them or not, either. I can barely afford $3500/year tuition for a community college, much less something way above that while also paying to move and live in another state. (Luckily I got 2 science scholarships to cover my CC tuition for the 2012-2013 year, but I still have to worry about food and rent. The maximum amount of stafford loan I can take out is barely enough to live on, even as an independent student.)

Is it all right to ask what Ivy you went to? Is it the same as the school associated e-mail in your profile?
