Easiest college to transfer in?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I am considering transferring for the Fall 2012 semester and I have compiled a list of schools I am considering. I had a 3.45 in HS and I have a 3.7 now in college but that is beside the point. </p>

<p>Can you rank these schools in regards to transfer acceptance percentage?
I live in Michigan so I'd assume that is #1.</p>

<p>Cornell University
Emory University
Northwestern University
Rice University
Tufts University
University of Chicago
University of Michigan
University of Pennsylvania
Vanderbilt University
Washington University in St. Louis</p>

<p>UMich would be the easiest for you…then Vanderbilt, Emory and Rice.</p>

<p>The rest have pretty stingy acceptance rates for transfers. </p>

<p>Do you have any outstanding ECs that will make your name lift off the page over people with a higher gpa?</p>

<p>Nothing that would blow someone off their seat :confused:

  • Honors College - Full Ride Scholarship
  • Student Gov. Pres. (HS)
  • Class Council VP (HS)
  • NHS Treasurer (HS)
  • Manager at Ace Hardware</p>

<p>Do you think Cornell is an outside chance? I plan on applying to CALS.</p>

<p>For Cornell, you can’t just go by their raw statistics because they have a lot of guaranteed transfer students from community colleges, so that bloats their transfer stats, making it seem like a more transfer friendly school, but if you are not one of those fortunate guaranteed transfers it is just as hard to transfer into as any other top-notch, private university.</p>

<p>That is what I suspected would be the case. I just wish I could see some statistics detailing the true acceptance percentage of Cornell. I might end up trying regardless.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are at UofM, Vandy, Emory, Rice?</p>

<p>Cornell CALS transfer rate is around 8 percent but if you apply to Cornells ILR the acceptance rat is about 40-50 percent, my suggestion would be get into Cornell thru the “back-door”(ILR) and then transfer to the CALS once your there if you really want to get into Cornell.</p>

<p>The only roadblock I could see at UMich would be if you currently go to Michigan State, which might not be the best case scenario.</p>

<p>We’d need to know some more info about your academics other than your gpa to make a solid assumption, and that’s all these things are.</p>

<p>@collegedreamin1 - I believe CAS is the one with the 8% transfer rate. ILR and CALS are around 40-50 percent but that is skewed with the guaranteed transfer.</p>
