<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am interested in hearing from students who successfully transferred into Wash U. What was the process like? Anyone transfer in after being accepted by Wash U as a Freshman, then going elsewhere?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Momofthree: My daughter transferred to Wash U after her freshman year at a top LAC. She had been waitlisted at Wash U as a high school senior. For applicants who were accepted or waitlisted in the first round, the transfer process at Wash U is somewhat streamlined. Portions of the original application are reactivated. I dont think Wash U even required a new essay (not absolutely sure on that one you need to check with the transfer people for specifics). I do think it's still vital, even if not required, that your D include an essay explaining why she wants to transfer and why shed be an asset to the campus.</p>
<p>If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to talk to you via PM. Transferring was the right decision for my D, and she is so happy at Wash U.</p>
<p>Thanks, wjb! Sent you a PM!</p>
