Transfer Chances

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a sophomore at the University of Arkansas on a full academic scholarship. I'm in the honors college and I have a 4.0 with a decent amount of extracurriculars. I'm double majoring in applied math and economics. I came to this school mainly because the scholarship made it easy but I've found that it isn't for me: I'm yet to be challenged in any way and the social scene isn't what I expected.</p>

<p>So my question is, what are top schools who accept a fair number of transfer students? I've heard that schools like Harvard and Yale may only accept maybe 12 transfers or something like that. Where do I have a good chance of getting in if I apply?
Also, what are some top schools who do transfer admissions for the spring semester? I was waiting to hear back about a study abroad application so I've missed the fall deadline.</p>

<p>Since I'm technically already a junior I assume that I would have to forfeit some of my credits wherever I transfer in order to complete the typical 60 at most institutions. Is this correct?</p>

<p>Can you afford UIUC? Or UCLA/Berkeley? Or UNC?</p>

<p>Maybe Cornell, NYU should be doable.</p>

<p>I don’t think you will be allowed to transfer to top colleges (though you will have to check each college’s policy).</p>

<p>Students who have completed more than two years of college study with transferable credit, and those who have earned a bachelor’s degree, are not eligible to transfer to Harvard College. Students may not choose to relinquish academic credits, or a degree, in order to apply for transfer admission.
