Rejected:Freshman::Transfer:Junior?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Okay, I tried to grab attention by using the ":" signs, even though I am not sure if the analogy fits :/</p>

<p>I was rejected during the freshman round (when I applied RD in HS) but I am now considering to apply as a transfer (for the junior year in univ). I have improved my GPA significantly (from 3.5 in HS to 4.0 in Univ.) - grades were what mainly pulled me down in RD admissions. As well, I am currently very involved with the university/community activities. </p>

<p>I've heard somewhere that Yale does not admit transfer applicants it has rejected before? Is that true for all transfers, even juniors?</p>

<p>I know my chances are slim but I just want to know if there's hope at all for a rejected freshman.</p>

<p>I know people who were rejected as HS seniors and who later transferred, so, no, there's no policy that you can't apply and be accepted.</p>

<p>You can get in. Just keep in mind it has a very low admissions rate for transfers.</p>
