<p>1) Is it possible to transfer after 2 years rather than 1 year?
2) Does being waitlisted then rejected to a school as a 1st year applicant give an edge as opposed to not applying or getting flat out rejected as a 1st year applicant?
3) Do colleges still have your file if you applied as a 1st year?
4) What if the 1st school you went to accepted AP Credit so you didnt have to take General Bio for example... and then the transfer school doesnt accept AP credit... what happens?
5) When do students normally start the transfer application?
6) Anyone have the transfer statistics for Harvard, Georgetown, UVA, Cornell and Middlebury?
7) Is generally getting in as a transfer easier?
8) How much do you think students miss out not experiencing freshman year at the transfer college?
9) How much do they weigh high school stuff (SATs) as opposed to college grades... ex) 3.8 in college and 1300 on SAT... whats a greater factor?</p>

<li>Lol. Of course</li>
<li>Not too much. But you certainly qualified for the school if it waitlisted you.</li>
<li>I believe so. Especially if you applied online.
4.Then you'd have to satisfy the natural science gen ed requirement at the school you plan to pursue regardless of whether you received AP credit at the previous institution. In short, you'd have to take the class.</li>
<li>I'd say between Feb and June.</li>
<li>I'll get back to you on those.</li>
<li>For Ivy leagues: Hellz Nah! For others (that seem transfer friendly like Gtown, Emory, etc): It could work in your favor.</li>
<li>I have yet to experience it myself.</li>
<li>Well if you apply as a transfer student after a year, then they do heavily weigh your hs credentials. However, after two years in college, they will heavily weigh college credentials--some schools wouldn't even look at your hs credentials then. Ummm the criterion they greatly use to ascertain a decision for an applicant is definitley the college GPA.</li>

<p>6) you can simply get the transfer statistics from each individual school's common data set, at this link:</p>
