Transfer Students

<p>I would love to know the answer to this as well. I think it depends on the school. Which ones did you apply to?</p>

<p>It depends on the policy of the school and whether or not they are need-blind for transfer students. The fact that a school is need blind for fr admissions does not guarantee that they are also need blind for transfers, B for instance:</p>

<p>And the question is moot if you can’t pay for your education without financial aid.</p>

<p>If you need aid, apply for it when you apply for admission.</p>

<p>I think that goes without saying. I’m just wondering if people who are in the position of not having to apply for financial aid receive a little boost or not.</p>

<p>I think in better financial times, no it wouldn’t matter. But the reality of this economy is that it does, even if only in the minds of the people reviewing your applications - who are thinking of their own jobs.</p>
