Transfer Students

<p>That depends on the university. Some will have the same, but many have less. If you have a list of schools you are interested in check out there pages on transfers and see if you can find more info.</p>

<p>USC meets 100% of demonstrated need - and is need-blind.</p>

24

<p>For OOS as well?</p>

25

<p>Yes .</p>

26

<p>USC is private; OOS doesn’t apply.</p>

<p>I think some schools (especially with the ones with smaller endowments) have a yearly budget set for the fall. If you apply in the spring, they may admit you, but they don’t allocate for spring starters in financial aid.</p>

<p>While there are some merit scholarships for non-freshmen, it is significantly less than for first year students.</p>

<p>Here are a couple of possible sources:</p>

<p>Boston College is not very good with transfer financial aid. Ivies? It depends. Some of them now have 100% need policies if your family makes under a certain amount, or countless other reasons. The best thing to do is apply and see what they say.
I currently go to Syracuse which is not exactly known for their financial aid, but I have a pretty good package. The key is to approach your financial aid counselor early and explain any discrepancies that don’t show up on paper. Make sure you explain you really want to go to the school, but there’s serious issues financially. Number one rule, be professional and courteous at all times! =)</p>

<p>I’m just throwing this out there but I’ve heard from a close friend that Cornell is not 100% need-blind. I’m applying as a transfer for sophomore standing. Apparently for the FA applicants, they put you into a more competitive pool of applicants and then admit from there. Ideally, I’d like my application to be reviewed in both pools of applicants so that even if I didn’t get aid and didn’t go because of that, at least I’d know that I got in regularly. But unfortunately life doesn’t work that way. But does anyone know if I’m completely wrong or could this be right? Any ideas anyone?</p>

<p>^You were given misinformation. Cornell is 100% need blind. The online common app for cornell doesn’t even have a place to check off finaid, and the financial aid is handled by a completely different office than the application.</p>

<p>hermanns, my application did ask whether or not i was applying for aid or scholarships.</p>

<p>does anyone know of good business schools with generous aid or even merit scholarships for international transfer students?</p>

<p>Yes, Brown has a “need-aware”, not need-blind, transfer admission policy: [Should</a> I Even Apply to Transfer to this College?

<p>It looks like Yale is need-blind. “Financial aid is solely based on financial need.” [Frequently</a> Asked Questions | Transfer & Other Programs | Office of Undergraduate Admissions](<a href=“Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions”>Home | Yale College Undergraduate Admissions)</p>
