<p>So, I didn't get into my top schools of choice, but I was accepted to some pretty decent ones. I have 64 credits (from a community college) at the end of this semester, out of which probably 58-60 will transfer. So if I go to "school X" and try to transfer again, would it mean that I'd have to spend another 2 years in my final school, if I get in? I know some schools specifically state in their websites that 60 credits have to be completed in their respective institutions. Any good schools with mere 30 credit requirement? Any ideas would be most appreciated. :)</p>
<p>Anybody???</p>
<p>at this point, you cannot effectively go to 2 more schools. You can not accept the admittances if you think you can take a gap year and have better chances in a year, but otherwise, you should take your best school and run with it.</p>
<p>Depends on your definition of good. If you’re definition of good is the Ivy or near Ivy, like many consider on this forum, you’re screwed. However, at least two very good publics, Maryland and Wisconsin, say they accept senior transfers. Even some quality privates allow a high number of transfer credits. Loyola Chicago requires only the final 45 to be taken in residence. I recall that Dayton and Case Western also have residency requirements below 60 credits. Richmond requires roughly the equivalent of 50 credits. There’s likely many more schools. You don’t have to be stuck in a terrible situation. However, do you really want to go to 3 schools in as many years?</p>
<p>you could take a another semester at your current CC, and attempt spring transfer to a few schools you have not applied to. send a letter specifically stating that you understand that some classes will drop and that you will be taking the required 60 credits at your new school. it is most likely what I will be doing as well.</p>
<p>That’s probably what I’ll end up doing…</p>
<p>Check this carefully so that you don’t make a mistake and try for second term junior admission if the schools you want won’t allow it; or if they won’t “drop” the credits you want them to pass over.</p>
<p>There is a poster who found one or two good schools who will accept transfers with only 30 credits to earn at the new institution. Unfortunately, I can’t recall at this moment who it was or thread title to search.</p>
<p>But if you do some creative searching, you might find it. Was a rather long thread, but came up with some good info.</p>
