<p>Can one transfer from a Liberal Arts College to a National Uni? Just wondering.
For instance, is it possible if I can transfer from Mount Holyoke to UCLA?</p>
<p>Yes, it is possible to transfer if you are admitted to the destination school.</p>
<p>What do you mean, “possible”?
Transferring from a top LAC like MHC to a university, including a top university, is very possible (in fact, many top universities admit “lateral transfers”, ie., from peer institutions – except in California and to a lesser extent at public universities, where community college transfers are prioritized and frequent).
Is it common? Outside of UCLA and USC, plus Cornell (mostly Ag/Environment School), top universities take very few transfers. Check the CDS for how many, but it’s considered even harder than getting in as a freshman.</p>
