<p>Well, there have been kids that have posted in the past who did cut ties with their current school because they had been accepted to their new school. However, aid packages for transfer students can come quite late spring or even mid-summer!</p>
<p>So, some of these kids have gotten lousy FA packages that they can’t afford, but they can’t easily return to their old school because they didn’t register for classes, didn’t get housing for the next year, etc. </p>
<p>So, it’s just a good idea to proceed with your old school as if you’d be returning and see what happens with your transfer.</p>
<p>You might try Cornell…they give good aid to transfer students.</p>
