<p>Why do you want to transfer if you have a very good GPA and you only have 2 years left?</p>

<p>Mostly because I don’t feel challenged enough. There are a myriad of other academic reasons such as the faculty-student ratio, undergraduate research opportunities, and a general intellectual atmosphere. Part of it is the reputation since, while I don’t care very much about a schools reputation, graduate schools do.</p>
