<p>I plan on applying for transfer admission for Spring 2012, and Fall if I don't get accepted anywhere then. I'm applying as a Psych major, but I'm having trouble finding schools that A. are ranked relatively highly and B. allow transfer admission at all. Big city environments are a plus, but not necessary - any ideas?</p>
<p>Anyways, I'm going to apply for BU, BC, UMich, NYU, Brown, UPenn, U of Washington Seattle, U of Vermont, Northwestern and Cornell for the spring, and all those plus Duke, Georgetown and Columbia for the fall.</p>

<p>My essays (I think) are pretty good. I was accepted into NYU for fall 2010 but had to withdraw right before term began because of hardship (parents were getting divorced, dad had squandered all savings + accrued tens of thousands of dollars of debt, couldn't secure a loan, cheated, etc.). I made sure I wasn't begging for sympathy, but demonstrating that I want to go to a good school so I can be what my dad isn't and help to support my family.</p>
