<p>Big Red 2011 here. I've been contemplating leaving cold dreary Ithaca for a while now and Yale may be a school I would like to attend. Any advice from current Yalies in regards to the transfer process? I am an Applied Economics major with a 3.4 and would consider transferring into a program focusing in either economics, politics, or history.</p>
<p>Cheers and many thanks.</p>
<p>Thnx for posting and considering Yale. The reality is that Y’s transfer process is insanely competitive due to the sheer no. of applicants and the paucity of openings. As a '11, you’d be trying to come into Yale as a junior. From past trends, that’s under 20 openings. And probably 500 applicants. Also, the huge proportion of them would have near to top GPAs. I wish the best for you but statistically, you’ve got quite the mountain ahead of you.</p>
<p>If you’re in the '11 class, then I believe the deadline for transferring as a junior passed a few days ago…</p>
<p>I know someone who transferred from Cornell to Yale. He transferred as a sophomore and had a 4.0 his freshman year at Cornell. Although I only discussed transfer GPAs with three people, all had 3.9s or above from top 25 schools.</p>
<p>Cold dreary Ithaca to cold dreary New Haven =P</p>
