Transfer from UCLA

I am currently thinking about transferring to either Northwestern or Cornell from UCLA. I know both schools are extremely competitive to get in as the transfer acceptance rate is really low. Just wondering if I can get in either one of them, would it give me a much better chance for IB?

I would say on margin that the transfer would make sense for NY. Honestly not sure about Asian offices, it might be a wash since there are so many UCLA alumni who are Asian and working back in China/HK/SG. Do a LinkedIn search and filter by alumni.

Be excellent to each other, and party on, dudes.
