Help Me Put Together A Transfer List

College Search & Selection

<p>I've been told by a couple of people that I should consider UMich as a "safety" transfer. They take roughly 40% of transfer students. </p>

<p>When I first applied there, I got deffered and then denied, part of which I imagine comes from when I sent in my application (start of December), which is an issue for a school with rolling admissions, and was considered out of state. Now that neither of those two would hold true, and I should have generally stronger numbers based on my college grades for the first semester, I would think it would be a pretty safe bet. </p>

<p>I'm not nuts about it, and I especially don't like how close it is to home (90 minutes) or that I know so many people there (~25). But, it does have a good political science department, and is 16% Jewish, with a strong AEPi chapter. And, since it costs quite a bit less than any of the schools I really care for, my parents may be inclined to help me cover some of my mba/jd costs, which is currently not the case. </p>

<p>Any thoughts on this?</p>

<p>Emory, NYU & WUSL, as UAA member schools, may be your best bets. If you're trying Penn and Cornell, why not Columbia as well? Some safety schools to consider: Tulane, Syracuse & Ithaca. As a Michigan resident, UM deserves some thought. Finally, look at Grinnell.</p>

<p>Are you aware of James Madison College at Michigan State, a bargain for a MI resident? Also, Colorado College, where you might meet the daughter of a Vice President and end up a partner in a big DC law firm.</p>
