Transfer Chances After Denying Freshman Acceptance

<p>Colby was the school of my dreams, but somehow, even though with financial aid costs were comparable (within $1,000), my parents convinced me I would be freezing, bored, and alone if I went to Colby. Now I'm at a much larger, public liberal arts university, which is fine, but I'm realizing the student population isn't what I thought it would be and I feel no connection to my surroundings. I know I should give it a fair shot, but I can't help feeling like a made a huge mistake... Do you think being accepted as a freshman will hurt/help my chances as a transfer? I realize how ridiculous this is.</p>

<p>Colby saw potential in you once so that can only be a positive in them seeing it again! That is to say as long as you have kept up good grades and extracurriculars at your current school. If you feel Colby is where you belong, apply again. Here is some information from the Colby website: </p>

<p>Each year Colby admits a small number of transfer students into both the fall and spring semesters. Admission by transfer is open to students with excellent academic and personal records at accredited colleges and universities in the United States or abroad. Successful transfer applicants usually have earned at least a B average (3.0), or its equivalent, in a rigorous program of study. Credits from accredited institutions for courses in which grades of C or better have been earned normally are accepted when comparable courses are offered at Colby. Transfer application forms may be obtained from the Admissions Office and must be completed and returned by October 1 for January entrance or by February 1 for September entrance. Financial aid is not usually available for January transfers.</p>
