<p>Let's say the 1st year freshman I try to transfer out of a college...i fail.</p>

<p>Can i try to transfer again my sophomore year?
my junior year?</p>

<p>What are the chances...dothey decrease...er, In other words...how does the System work?</p>

<p>Technically you can. But it'll be extremely hard for you to get in since the college must have previously rejected you for a reason. And it is rather difficult to completely overhaul your profile and you application within a year or two.</p>

<p>most colleges insist that you spend at least 4 semesters on their campus to graduate. so you can very well transfer after sophomore year, but not after senior year.</p>

<p>Colleges vary in rules for transfer. Many will accept transfers after freshman year. Often the rules will even differ among the colleges within a university -- LAS may take transfers after first year but engineering may want only transfers after sophomore year. However, regardless of particular rules applicable, almost all have a preference for transfers after sophomore year and thus at many colleges you can be rejected for that reason after freshman year and still have a chance after sophomore year.</p>

<p>The acceptance rate at Ivies is higher for post-sophomores than post-freshman...right? </p>

<p>I atleast overheard that somewhere, as the colleges you are trying to transfer to want to make sure you have a legitimate reason for transferring other than for increased prestige.</p>

<p>Or maybe its because your transfer app after your second year can be more impressive than your transfer app after your first.</p>

<p>If you transfer after Freshman year, your transfer app will only have 1 semester of college grades to evaluate plus midterm estimates for those who ask for it. Your hs and SAT scores will still be considered (and important to some schools). When you transfer after Soph year, you have more college record to provide and often hs/SAT is not a factor. All of that, plus your reasons for transferring, will factor into their decision and should factor into your plan.</p>
