<p>if you applied and was rejected in freshman year, how big is that going to affect you when you apply for transfer the year after? will the result be the same?</p>
<p>I got denied my Senior year as a Freshman at Georgetown, then got in as a transfer for Sophomore year. I figure, it can only help that you applied before, at least it shows you are consistant and still haven't given up on the school.</p>
<p>Depends. Some schools purge their records every year so they might not even know. I called a school asking if they kept my SAT scores on file so I wouldn't have to pay for them to be sent again, and they informed me that they had no record of me on file. I know on some application forms they might ask, but some don't specifically ask if you were admitted/rejected.</p>
<p>Rejected Columbia ED senior year with a 4.0 and 1440 SAT, rejected Columbia transfer with 4.0 gpa in college. Didn't make a difference for me.</p>
