<p>I was wondering how difficult it would be to transfer into Stanford from USC? I am currently a freshman at USC double majoring in business and accounting (part of the 5 years masters program but if I stay at USC I will get it in 4 years due to AP credits) but don't feel like USC is the right fit for me and have always loved Stanford. I unfortunately didn't apply to Stanford out of high school (huge regret) but now I really want to transfer there. I understand that Stanford is extremely competitive to transfer into after sophomore year but I am just wandering what my chances are? I currently have a 4.0 and plan on maintaining that gpa the next year. I am extremely involved at USC and will have excellent professor recommendations. What should I do to help my chances of getting into Stanford and do I have a chance?</p>
<p>Anyone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe Stanford has a less than 2 percent acceptance of transfer students each year. And those who wish to transfer are probably really competitive applicants such as yourself.</p>
<p>it is extremely difficult but it is possible
however, from what I have seen, most of the successful transfers transfer there after freshman year.
of course, if you can maintain a 4.0 gpa and stay involved, i think you will have a “better than average chance”
if you dont think USC is the right fit, i would suggest you apply to a few others as well.</p>
