I am looking for suggestions of schools for my son to transfer to for January 2024 [starting 4th semester at the new college]

Most of these schools have no Greek life. For those that do, I don’t think it is a dominant social force like it can be at schools with high percentages of participants and/or located in the south. All of these, I believe, have a January start available.

• Case Western (OH) - 40% transfer admission rate
• Clark (MA) - 70% transfer admission rate
• College of the Holy Cross (MA) - 34% transfer admission rate
• Connecticut College - 31% transfer admission rate
• Fairfield (CT) - 45% transfer admission rate
• Lake Forest (IL) - 59% transfer admission rate
• Lewis & Clark (OR) - 61% transfer admission rate
• Reed (OR) - 15% transfer admission rate
• St. John’s (MD or NM) - 34% transfer admission rate
• Sarah Lawrence (NY) - 54% transfer admission rate
• Seattle U. (WA) - 59% transfer admission rate
• U. of Rochester (NY) - 42% transfer admission rate

ETA: Added transfer rates, as some school’s transfer rates can be significantly different than the college’s freshmen admit rates. Also, Rice has a 4% transfer admit rate. Just like when applying to colleges as a first year applicant, a balanced list of schools to apply to is important for a transfer student.
