<p>Does anybody know if having been previously accepted to a school as a rising freshman will improve your chances as a transfer candidate? If anybody happens to know anything specifically about BC or Notre Dame, that's great. But any general information would also be appreciated.</p>
<p>Take a look at this thread <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/688969-previous-acceptance-affects-transfer-admission.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/transfer-students/688969-previous-acceptance-affects-transfer-admission.html</a></p>
<p>I think it depends on the college and how desirable a candidate you are.
I know someone who was accepted to Harvard but chose another school. She was unsuccessful when she tried to transfer there after freshman year.</p>
<p>Some schools keep applications from past applicants. One school that I was accepted to in high school said that I could reactivate my application as a transfer. (I never did). </p>
<p>It’s “good” in the sense that you had what they were looking for for freshmen admissions. However, transfer acceptances are often more competitive than they are for freshmen admissions.</p>
