<p>I was wondering why might a university look down upon students who are trying to transfer as seniors from their universities? I recently applied to Georgetown and although my credentials were good the admissions counselor told me my status was "unlikely". I was considering applying to transfer to other schools in the spring, but if this is the case then there is no reason to put in the effort.</p>
<p>I am strongly committed to transfer however, because my university does not provide me with the opportunities to work in the industry i desire. I am willing to drop previous earned credits and excel in the university if given the chance.</p>
<p>You need to make a list of colleges and universities that offer the degree program that you want. Then you need to investigate their transfer policies. Some will not admit transfer students who have completed more than X credits. Some will admit people who have already completed a full undergraduate degree as transfer students in a new program. There is no way to predict this because each one sets their own policies.</p>
<p>If you are admitted as a transfer student, you do not get to pick which credits will transfer. The college/university will pick them for you. It would be conceivable (albeit very unlikely) that you could be admitted as a senior transfer but have none of your credits transfer at all.</p>
<p>What year will you be this fall? If you will be a junior, and you don’t want to continue at your current university, why don’t you just take a leave of absence for a year and do something else while you apply for transfer? If you will be a senior, is there anything that you can do at your current university that will prepare you for graduate school in the new field of study? Depending what that new field is, you may not even need to go to grad school. Sometimes a semester or two of coursework in the new area is good enough. You could do that part-time or at night once you graduate from your current university.</p>
