<p>Which top 50 usnews schools are particularly friendly for trasnfers? I know for a fact that princeton doesn't accept and harvard/yale rarely accept.
Thanks</p>
<p>Bates might be...I'm unsure how many they accept, but if they offer money to international transfers, I can imagine they're very nice to domestic transfers. :)</p>
<p>brown, cornell, upenn, umich, trinity (ct), nyu</p>
<p>yeah i can second brown. though im not applying there, i do know some kids who have transferred, and they all say that the school was very accomodating. cornell, others have told me, also has its own transfer living area for the kids to get to know each other and discover the school together, which sounds pretty cool.</p>
<p>oops, transfer friendly, not easier to get into, per se. other than brown, i hear dartmouth does a fantastic job of it. sophomore summer and all that.</p>
<p>I think he meant which are easy to get into. Wesleyan is pretty easy, as are a lot of the 11-20 LACs. UChi is fine to get into.</p>
<p>the top public universities are obviously quite friendly (some in state friendly only) when it comes to transfers, and i believe there are 10 publics in the top 50</p>
<p>Cornell, I hear, takes something like 33% of transfer applicants. </p>
<p>Which is a lot :-)</p>
<p>well, Cornell also gives guaranteed transfer spots to certain students in certain schools. This is a relatively high number and it really skews cornell's transfer admissions statistics. For example, the transfer acceptance rate into ilr w/o guaranteed transfers is around 25%. But, they calculate the GT's into the equation which inflates the acceptance rate to around 50%. The GT's technically have to submit some transfer material, so they are treated as applicants, but as long as they have at least a 3.3 at their other college they will be admitted. </p>
<p>Take out the GT's and the transfer acceptance rate for Cornell goes down quite a bit: 25% for ilr, 16-17% for arts and sciences, and i forget the rest. </p>
<p>Regardless, you'll still need at least a 3.7+ GPA to be competitive for transfer admission to Cornell.</p>
<p>barnard college, for women.</p>
<p>ucsb, ucd, ucsd, university of wisonsin madison, georgia tech....These are all top 50 schools, top 10 public, and are quite transfer friendly!</p>
<p>Northwestern and Washington University in STL are great midwestern schools which take in a fair share of transfer students in a normal year. Transfers at east, I would agree with Cornell to a certain extent, UPenn also has a generous rate and I wouldn't say Georgetown's overall 25% isn't too bad.</p>
<p>Yeah, I second barnard. It's not as prestigious as Cornell, say, but the direct connection to Columbia offers ivy-caliber opportunities for its best students who aren't obsessed with the name of their school.</p>
<p>thanks for the help so far
i would love to go to barnard, but i think i have a better chance of getting into Princeton.</p>
<p>Not enough X-chromosomes?</p>
<p>this is quite amusing.</p>
<p>is barnard really easier to get into as a transfer student? I've been researching Barnard a lot today, and have completely fallen in love... I'm trying to organize a bunch of friends to drive down to the city from vermont when i go back next week so i can meet with a transfer admissions officer. it's really easier to get into as a transfer than as a freshman?</p>
<p>Yes -two years ago they accepted 45% of transfers. See collegeboard.com Great site.</p>
<p>Rice admits transfers at the same rate as freshmen applicants (I think around 25%). That doesn't make it easy to get into, but it is "friendly" compared to say MIT which admits 12-14% of freshmen applicants and only 1-2% of transfer applicants.</p>
<p>For Fall 2005, Barnard accepted less than 32% of transfers and visiting students. See their website under Class Profile.</p>
