First off, not to be picky, but you have mis-spelled "league" throughout your question. Whatever you write, make sure to run spell-checker and also have someone else edit and proof-read your essay. Colleges are not impressed by poor spelling or poor writing in the essays!





Second, before sitting down to write essays, you should honestly ask yourself why you want to apply to or transfer to Yale or another Ivy. If it's just for the name or prestige, I don't think that's an adequate reason. I'm an alumni interviewer for an Ivy League school, and we are looking for people who have a really specific reason or set of reasons for wanting to go to the school -- for example, if you are very interested in certain fields or majors that the school is strong in, or like the type of curriculum in general, or have some personal contact with the school that has gotten you enthusiastic about going there. Just saying it's a really good school or that it has a good reputation is way too broad, as is saying you really like city X and want to go to a good school there.





Are you already in college elsewhere? Or, are you planning to enroll elsewhere and then apply to Yale as a transfer student? You may want to check Yale's Website to see how many transfer students have been admitted in recent years. It may be very few in some years, and slightly more in others, but in general I think it's much harder to transfer than to be admitted as a freshman. You would need to have excellent grades from your current college, and it would be important that your current college is also a selective one (i.e., one that is relatively difficult to get into, as opposed to one that admits most people who apply). In addition, if you have life experiences that are unusual, it could be some boost in gaining admission (e.g., immigrated from abroad; worked to support self in college; underrepresented minority; first generation college student; or outstanding in some endeavor such as athletics, music, etc.).





There are many, many excellent schools besides the Ivies, including many of the large state universities where you would be paying a lot less and get a very good education (e.g., Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, the California universities and colleges, Univ. of North Carolina, Univ. of Virginia, Texas, Univ. of Arizona, etc.).
