Is it easier to transfer during sophomore year than junior year? do you have higher chance of acceptance if you apply for sophomore year?
it depends. if your high school stats and tests are good, it doesn’t really matter. If your stats aren’t that good, transferring as a junior applicant will be easier since your college record will be weighed heavier than high school. If you transfer as a sophomore applicant, your high school records are still weighed heavily.
^^ Agreed. Also, it depends on the school. Most schools just list sophomores and juniors under “transfers”. Meaning they don’t have a specific number of spaces for each. Space varies with each class. Socially I would say the transition is easier as a sophomore for the student. However in terms of admissions, junior year most likely.
Some schools only accept Junior level transfers such as the California UC’s and Cal states. High school grades and test scores are not considered, only your college GPA, the # of transferable course units and if you have completed all major courses requirements for transfer.
You need to check each schools transfer requirements.
@rvalover7 what do you mean? tranistion is easier as a sophomore , but for admission terms (chances) junior? 
@Derpthulu Studies have shown at a few colleges (specifically smaller LACs) that socially its harder to transfer in as a junior rather than a sophomore. As a sophmore its your second year it’s a lot easier to make friends and get involved socially. By junior year a lot of people have their friend group and are heavily involved. I think that is only relevant to some schools though. However, applying as a junior gives you an advantage as you have more coursework done. They still look at and weigh your HS transcript when you apply as a sophomore transfer because its just your first year of school.
