<p>I'm trying to transfer to a top 30 and multiple kids from my school are applying to the same college that I am. In fact, one kid is applying to the same department from my school, has a better gpa, sat score, and actually KNOWS a professor there. How much does this decrease my chances for getting in as a transfer. Is this a myth or is it true?</p>
<p>Not that this is really relevant but I went to an transfer admit session for fall 07 and out of 5 people on the tour there was a guy who wanted to transfer from the same random CC in a completely different state! It seems silly to think they would look at that but ....i keep wondering ;-)</p>
<p>Ok...that doesn't answer my question.</p>
<p>nope. but at least i bumped up your thread.</p>
<p>Someone Answer This Lol</p>
<p>if this helps at all, when i graduated from high school in 2002, 47 of my classmates were admitted to Cal.</p>
<p>In theory, it shouldn't. There's no hard data on it, but in theory, it really shouldn't affect admissions. </p>
<p>However, me and my roommate talk about how for example Ivy's don't really like to take students from other Ivy's (say like a student from Harvard --> Yale) or something like that, which I guess... could affect it? </p>
<p>My reply, would probably be a no unless it's a MASSIVE amount of students transferring. But you'd have to ask an actual adcom for that.</p>
