2021 Fall Stanford Transfer Thread

Hey, nice to meet you, I am also a transfer student applying from a four-year university. Currently a sophomore.

GPA: 3.7
Age: 19
Major in Industrial Engineering and Product Design

I am transferring because I cannot pursue the education I would like to at my current institution and believe Stanford has the educational environment for my passions. I am really excited to see what awaits us and wish you good luck in the process; hopefully, we both get accepted.

You are correct, I have friends at Stanford in the transfer community who have specifically noted they let in 78 students for fall 2020.

Hey nice to meet you as well and yes there are plenty of us out there. Goodluck to you in this process!

I don’t think these rates will be effected but there is a possibility they accept more people in a desire to create a more vibrant transfer community of at least 100 people per class.

^ This! I agree that they will accept more students if it was their intention to create a bigger and more diverse transfer community, COVID or no COVID, which I heard has been a work in progress for quite some time. With that said, I hope they do accept more students this year! :slight_smile:

It’s so crazy that accepting more than 30 transfer students per year at Stanford is considered “more people” lol.

Haha, true! At this point, I’m wondering who is even getting in, with the ever-decreasing acceptance rate. :joy:

Just submitted my application, feeling great. Good luck to everyone!

We have less than two months until we hear back! Good luck to you all. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This is probably too soon, however, has anyone received any interview request from Stanford?

Bruh the deadline was yesterday ._.

Also, Stanford does interviews for transfer students?

I don’t think so

They do not do interviews, I have directly discussed it with the admission department.

That’s disappointing that they don’t do interviews.

God only knows why I’m here but I’ve submitted an application and I pray they give me a chance. I don’t even have to stay in a dorm, I’ll be happy if they offer me a utility closet to live in.

In all seriousness, it’s a shot in the dark but I poured my heart out on my essays and I’m hoping I hear some good news. Good luck to everyone else!
