<p>Need Your Advice: Dartmouth Vs. WUSTL (Full-ride) Vs. NU, etc </p>

<p>I am planning to transfer to Stanford next year. But, of course, I do want to go to the best school in my list and they are as good as Stanford (or could be even better fit). I just prefer Stanford because I like CA and its education and facility.</p>

<p>here is my final college list:</p>

<p>Dartmouth (Less than 12K: Pending)
U Penn (Wharton School: Fin-Aid Pending)
Brown (No PLME: Pending)
Northwestern (Fin-aid Pending)
WUSTL (Full-ride)
JHU (No Financial Aid)
Emory
Notre Dame
Vanderbilt
UC Berkeley (Pending)
UCLA (about 20K)</p>

<p>My intended major is Biology or Economics. I am a pre-med student but I may change my mind to go to business or Law school. I still want to have an amazing pre-med program at college. On the other thread, many people recommended me Dartmouth or WUSTL.</p>

<p>Don’t come to college with that mindset. I’m sure you know by now that Stanford is next to impossible to transfer into. Think 20 accepted students - most of which are from California community colleges - out of roughly 1200 applicants. Plus: </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>This profile will likely make you an uninteresting applicant. Think of the type of people who get in as transfers. We’re talking former rap star fathers here.</p>

<p>If you go to Dartmouth, will you be able to afford the 12K per year through family contribution? If so, Dartmouth. If not, WUSTL</p>

4

<p>my family has to pay 12K (probably less because I requested for review) per year for Dartmouth Education.</p>

5

<p>Definitely go for Dartmouth because 12K is cheap and it may get lower!</p>

6

<p>12K is cheap? really? I mean it is cheap but how cheap is it? and why do you think Dartmouth is a better school (forget about the ivy brand-name). Also other ivys (Wharton and Brown), and Northwestern (what if they offer fullride?)</p>

<p>Isn’t this a Columbia board?</p>

</p>

<p>doesn’t matter to OP, he’s on a bragging streak</p>

<p>With several thousand colleges in this country, she/he has many posts to make. On the other hand, with 12 acceptances, maybe she/he covered a lot of the colleges already. Oh well, go nuts, I guess!</p>

I wouldn’t get my hopes up. You have less than 5% chance of getting in.</p>

<p>Wharton is the best school on your list. UCB, Dartmouth, Brown, and JHU are all pretty close.</p>

<p>lols transferring into stanford is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than getting in the first time buddy. don’t plan on it…</p>

12

<p>If you like California then go to UCLA or Cal. I would advise against passing up a full ride at WUSTL, unless you get a full ride at NU, PENN, Brown, Dartmouth or Cal</p>
