<p>Depends on where you’re transferring from… It’s very different for varying situations. For example, the UCs give priority to California community college students. So, it’s much easier for CCC students to transfer to a UC versus an OOS student.</p>

<p>Most people on here will not be familiar enough with all those colleges’ transfer admission policies/stats to make a fair comparison.</p>

<p>you are not applying to all of those schools…are you???</p>

<p>Buy a cheap, online subscription to US News. Then click on the selectivity column to get the schools sorted that way. You’ll need to do it in a couple of categories to get all your schools, but that’s the easy way to do it.</p>

<p>“you are not applying to all of those schools…are you???”</p>

<p>nope, I want to eliminate some schools I have no chance of transferring into.</p>

6

<p>Where are you transferring from?</p>

7

<p>You have IU-Bloomington twice… you must really like that school..</p>

8

<p>i want to suggest you to eliminate more than half of the schools you listed and then ask for the selectivity…</p>

<p>no way am i rating all those schools…just search online for college ratings: the US news website has great free info.</p>

<p>Hate to be a wet blanket but, unless money is not an issue:</p>

<p>Off the top, you should eliminate any public univeristy that is not in the state where you are an in-state resident.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>most of those schools will give priority to their own in-state residents, which, unless you are at the very top of the applicant pool your chances are slim as far as admissions.</p></li>
<li><p>the chances of you recieving tuition comprable to that of an in-state resident is nil.</p></li>
<li><p>If you need FA to attend, with the exception of federal aid (pell, stafford/perkins loans) you will not receive enough $$ to attend. Your chances of obtaining scholarship aid (usually reserved for freshmen admissions) is going to be pretty slim.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Next you should check the FA policies at the privates as some schools have very limited or no aid for transfer students.</p>
