<p>Will this hurt my chances? The school I am talking about in particular is Sarah Lawrence. </p>
<p>Also, I know for USC you just have to update your application, not reapply if you were admitted as a freshman, is this the case for most colleges?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>For many private colleges you have to go through the whole application process again, this time getting letters of recommendation from professors. You also have to have your final HS transcript sent, plus the standard letter of recommendation from your HS counselor. It will be a help that you were accepted last year, but it is no guarantee of acceptance this year. Since you were admitted there, I would call the admissions office at Sarah Lawrence and ask them what they need to process your transfer application.</p>
