best/easiest top school to transfer to

<p>i got into georgetown and columbia this year, and from the experiences of my other friends that applied with me, georgetown was way easier to get into. </p>

<p>since cornell's rate is inflated by the guaranteed transfers id say georgetown is the best top school that is easy to transfer to...that said, you shouldnt apply to a school only because it is prestigious and you think you can slip by the admit committee.</p>

<p>Alexandre. I'm sure the reason she wasn't admitted is because it was in LSA and a program that simply didn't have any room for her.</p>

<p>Given the yield and graduation rates, I think transfer classes have been shrinking over the last few years and the trend will probably continue.</p>

<p>UCLA is significantly harder to transfer to if you are out of state. They reserve a majority of their seats to instate students. I would venture a guess that the other top publics do the same?? My cuz got rejected from UCLA and got into Cornell and she is from NY.</p>

<p>Getting into Michigan CAS as a transfer if you are OOS - I don't know if there is "as stringent" a "in state reserve seat" policy as say, UCLA has - so it might still be easy.</p>

<p>^^ agreed--the acceptance rate for OOS transfers at UCLA is 10%. If you're an international, you have a much better chance--it has a 37% acceptance rate (funnily enough, slightly higher than the overall rate!).</p>

<p>I agree with the above posters Michigan is a great school(tops in the nation) has prestige and always will be respected, but their admissions processes for freshman and transfers are highly questionable.</p>

<p>The strength of the transfer applicant pool is a more important factor when trying to figure out how easy it is to transfer to a school.</p>

<p>Also, there are other factors to consider. For instance, a backdoor way into a UC is to go to a CC in California and apply as a transfer. I believe for most, if not all of them, you don't even need to take the SAT. </p>

<p>I think the major you declare plays a role too. If your primary concern is a brand name on your diploma, apply to the college of arts and sciences instead of the business school or engineering for example.</p>

<p>Some schools, certainly University of Wisconsin and University of Colorado are pains in the ass about transferring credits from other institutions. Perhaps you should keep that in mind as you look into schools to transfer to.</p>
