<p>Ok hey guys, I made an account here a few years ago when I was a freshman in college and looking to transfer but I forgot my username/password, and now I am back. Here goes my little story. I attending an out of state public university for freshman year and was looking to transfer to my dream school, Michigan. I got accepted to Michigan as a transfer and was planning on attending, but certain family issues got in the way and I was not able to attend. Instead, I ended up at a small liberal arts school for sophomore year. I absolutely hated it there as I was battling minor depression for the entire school year. I made the decision to transfer yet again, but this time back to a public university in my home town. Part of my decision was based off of family issues once again. I completed junior year at my current university and now I am a 1st semester senior (technically a 2nd semester junior as I lost a ton of credits with the 2 transfers). I have decided that I will try my luck transferring to another university in the spring, as life is too short to be unhappy in my opinion, and I do not want to regret anything. I know a lot of universities only allow you to transfer in a maximum of 60 credits. I will have ~85 by the end of the semester. Money isn't really an object for me, as I have worked for the past couple of years and made a good amount. It doesnt really matter to me if I graduate in 5.5, 6, 7, etc years. I just want to be happy. Will some universities accept me as a transfer even though I have completed far more credits than they will accept? In fact, I would prefer to go back to 60 credits as I will then have to take 4 semesters of classes at the university. My college experience thus far has been a complete disappointment, and as I said once again, money really is not a factor for me right now. I just want to be happy for a change at the college I am at. Thanks guys</p>
<p>There are any number of colleges/universities that will accept you as a transfer student, however it is most likely that you will need to complete two years worth of academic credits at the new institution. As a transfer student, you have little or no control over which credits are accepted. It is entirely possible (but very unlikely) for you to transfer and have none of your credits accepted. It also is entirely possible (but also somewhat unlikely) that all of your credits will transfer as electives, and you will need to re-do all of the work in your major field. </p>
<p>Start by contacting the colleges/universities that you are interested in. The admissions offices at those institutions are your best source of specific information.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best.</p>
