<p>Is this possible? I was getting ready to buy a book on Amazon about early admissions and I went to check out a couple Ivy Transfer pages at the college's individual web sites and right away I saw that Brown doesn't allow it for transfers. Do any of those big honchos allow transfers to apply Early Admissions?</p>
<p>If not who allows this for transfers?</p>
<p>Thanks for the help to anybody who responds. I love CC</p>
<p>Not aware of any EA possibilities for transfer.</p>
<p>Some do have rolling admissions, though (eg, UMichigan, Lehigh... many others).</p>
<p>EA is a freshman only thing as far as I know.</p>
<p>EA is only for freshmen (at least for the Ivies). Transfer applications have their own timeframe for admissions (app due mid-March, decisions made mid-May).</p>
<p>as everyone has stated above, most colleges have what is called a regular deadline (the earliest i know is feb 1 for USC, all others are march 1 or march 15). the only one i have heard that may be considered early in some way is wash u (which is rolling after late january and a decision is rendered after a month of completing your app)</p>
<p>Thanks for the help everybody. That sucks that we can't apply early admissions. I figure it should be allowed for us too. It's the same thing as freshman, we are solid students who have a preference for a certain school and acknowledge this preference by filing for early admission with a school. Guess I'll scratch that early admissions book off my list.</p>
<p>I blame republicans.</p>
<p>Wow.......</p>
<p>There are logistical reasons for not allowing early action transfer admissions. Unlike freshmen admissions where the school has a set desired class size to fill, allowing them to approximate the number of acceptances far in advanced, transfer space is highly variable--particularly for the Ivies. It really depends on available space in the current freshman and sophomore classes (i.e. how many kids left, dropped out, etc), and that's much harder to predict. As a result, you couldn't really have early admissions before you even knew how reduced your class size ultimately was (as people drop out between and during semesters, and not just conveniently at the end of each school year).</p>
<p>Sorry my friend, don't think the Republicans are to blame on this one ;P</p>
<p>MagiTF is 100% correct. It is not the same thing as a freshman because it can vary greatly on the class size they will take for transfers, plus transfers can apply during multiple semesters, and try to transfer for either sophomore or junior standing. Freshman only apply for the fall, and are mostly all coming out of HS. There are too many variables for transfers.</p>
<p>Makes sense. I was looking forward to that "golden reach" that is the school I would have chosen for Early Admissions. I'll come up with something else.</p>
