<p>I'm looking to transfer to an academically challenging, east-coast LAC. I'm definitely applying to Smith College--I was accepted there as a freshman and loved the school. I will also probably apply to Swarthmore, and maybe Williams.</p>
<p>Does anyone have suggestions about other east-coast schools that are similar to the ones mentioned above? And also, if anyone has actually transferred into any of these schools, any advice?</p>
<p>some good East coast LAC's are Amherst (MA), Vassar (NY), Bowdoin (Maine), Middlebury (VT) Haverford (PA)</p>
<p>All are really good schools, but if you have the grades for Williams/Swarthmore you probably can get in. good luck</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>You'd better double check to see which of these schools accept transfers. My understanding is that Swarthmore does not take transfer students.</p>
<p>heartbreakmom, Swarthmore does accept transfer students.</p>
<p>Bryn Mawr, MHC
BMC and Swarthmore have co-program</p>
<p>Smith & Swarthmore, in my opinion, would attract very different students than Williams. Are you looking for a very, liberal campus culture (Smith & Swarthmore) or a more mainstream preppy, athletic campus culture (Williams & Dartmouth)?</p>
<p>Swarthmore does accept transfers. Also, students enrolled at Swarthmore can take courses at Penn, Haverford, and Bryn Mawr College. It's one of my top choices.</p>
<p>Cold Wind, I loved Smith and Swarthmore, so if there are other schools similar to those that people would reccommend I look into, that would be great. </p>
<p>I was thinking of applying to Williams because I was accepted there as a freshman, and because it's a top school academically on the east coast. I didn't spend much time on campus there, however, so thanks for the heads-up on the difference in campus culture.</p>
