Reapply to a previously accepted college

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm reapplying to a college that I was previously accepted to as a transfer student. Will I be rejected if I reapply, since I was previously accepted, but didn't attend?</p>

<p>I'm also reapplying to the same major (within that same college) I was previously accepted to as a transfer student. Will my previous acceptance to the school, hurt my chances of reapplying and getting accepted (to the school and to the same major) again?</p>

<p>I couldn't attend the school previously because my parents changed their minds (after my acceptance came) and made me stay at my current school. But over the past several months, they have finally come to see, the college that I wanted to transfer to is indeed a better fit for me.</p>

<p>How should I explain this "I couldn't attend because of my parents' decision" thing within my application when I reapply to the college? Should I even explain this in my application at all?</p>

<p>PS. No offense to my parents and/or any parent. I am just confused.</p>

<p>Please help!! Thanks a lot!!</p>

<p>You are by no means at a disadvantage by not having matriculated when originally accepted. I would say, if anything, that you are at an advantage because it shows that you were competitive enough as a freshman applicant. </p>

<p>It would be perfectly reasonable to explain your situation and why you were prevented from attending in the first place.</p>

<p>Sorry for the confusion in my original post above. I was originally accepted as a transfer student to that college.</p>

<p>Once again, I will be applying as a transfer student.</p>

<p>So will the fact that I was previously accepted as a transfer student, work against me when I reapply as a transfer student again?</p>
