<p>I am aware that I will have to attend the new school for at least two years in order to obtain the degree and I am fine with that. But, does the fact that I'm a junior lower my chance?</p>
<p>The question you have asked is the question defining my worries at present. I will see in May, I suppose. But I don’t have a sure answer yet.</p>
<p>My gut feeling is that it will, perhaps significantly, perhaps not significantly…</p>
<p>Once you are a junior at a college some schools will not consider you to transfer. Maybe there are some that do, but I don’t know of any offhand.</p>
<p>Parisha: Which schools are you applying to? I am getting more nervous everyday…Ha.
I’m applying to USC (1st choice), Babson, Occidental, Claremont Mckenna, Amherst, Stanford and Brandeis.
I’ve read the school’s websites. None mentions that they will not consider junior-level students, just that transfer students need to attend the new school for at least two years to graduate.
Should I call the school’s counselors and ask to make sure?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>We have some schools in common for transfer this fall. But to your questions. Every college has there own admission policy regarding transfers, so you should call admissions/counselors. What school are you transferring out of and why? What is your GPA there?</p>
<p>there is no such policy about junior transfers…</p>
<p>the college will, however, be curious as to why you want to transfer after amassing so many credits…</p>
<p>In my case it was a medical reason…</p>
