<p>I've heard that if you had applied the college in freshman and not admitted, then you will almost have no chance to get in when you apply for transfer. Is that right?</p>
<p>Especially some ivies like Harvrad or Columbia or Brown...</p>
<p>I'm considering transfer to Brown or Columbia, but I'm afraid that I will be in a disadvantaged status when compared to othes because I had applied them this year.</p>
<p>Anyone can give me some suggestions??</p>
<p>You should try to apply again. You never know. “You never know what’s coming for you” (Benjamin Button voice). Just make your application more stronger than before.</p>
<p>if have no chance, I don’t want to waste the 75 dollars.</p>
<p>I applied to NYU in high school and was rejected, and then I was accepted for transfer a year and a half later.</p>
<p>As long as you show an improvement in college you stand a chance. you will definitely have a better chance as a junior transfer than sophomore transfer as your college performance will be given more weight than high school. But you still have a chance as a sophomore if you make the grades, get involved in clubs, and get the right teachers to write you strong recommendations. Not to mention, the essays you write are also extremely important so they can also help you out. you should definitely apply again!</p>
<p>There’s a thread somewhere in this section that deals with people who were denied out of high school, but were accepted as transfers. I can’t seem to find the thread ATM, though.</p>
<p>Statistically speaking, those who were denied at schools like Yale or Stanford out of high school are at a huge disadvantage as transfer applicants. I’m guessing this has little to do with the fact that they applied once before, and more with the fact that their transfer acceptance rates are ridiculously low.</p>
<p>I think the top colleges, like MIT or Yale or Columbia, they don’t hope the students to apply again for their school.</p>

<p>The “disadvantage” of applying as a transfer is that the acceptance rates for transfer students are lower than they are for incoming freshman at the elite schools. The fact that you are a stronger applicant in college may not cancel out the fact that these schools accept very few transfers. Also, elite schools are more likely to be need aware for transfer students. (This can help or hurt you).</p>
<p>.but when you are in the same pool…you will be in disadvantage</p>
<p>do all schools check to see if you’ve applied before? I know a few of mine asked on supplements, but not all.</p>
<p>I think all colleges will ask you if you had applied before.</p>
