<p>I didnt get into BC so Im thinking about trying to transfer in after freshman year. Can anyone speak to how much harder/easier it is to transfer into BC in general, and to apply from Villanova or Holy Cross in particular? I know VU and HC are common safeties, so Im wondering if its actually harder to get into BC as a transfer from those schools than it would be from another place. Any insight is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>Holy Cross would probably be the better of the two to transfer from. Its academics are held in higher regard.</p>
<p>I agree with Classic. HC has a reputation of being more academically rigorous than VU. Plus, you can see for yourself if you like the Jesuit education or not.</p>
<p>It all comes down to you and how you perform...go where you think you can excell...go for the fit and the rest will follow.</p>
<p>i would say villanova, it's jesuit and it still has good academics....
plus, people say that villanova is similar to BC. give it a chance, and maybe you'll go there and end up loving it. I don't recommend going into freshman year planning to transfer - choose your school based on where you could see yourself for the next four years, and after freshman year, see how everything's going. good luck!</p>
<p>actually, I think VU is Augustinian, not jesuit.
@ Ikrouch - I agree that if you are to transfer to BC, HC is probably better as it is part of the Jesuit network of schools.</p>
<p>My mistake, you're right about VU not being Jesuit...sorry all!</p>
