<p>I was waitlisted at a couple schools (WashU, Emory) for the class of 2011 but now I'm considering transfering (from Brandeis) for spring 2008- Any advice or ideas about how being previously waitlisted will affect the transfer process? Also- there are other schools (Tufts, Brown) that I LOVE but it's too late for a spring transfer- should I just wait and apply for a fall transfer there or go ahead and apply at the previously waitlisted schools?</p>
<p>lol, i saw you in the emory thread. Next time, please dont over post because then it looks like spam.</p>
<p>Anyways, Tufts and brown do not accept spring transfers. If you are desperate, then go ahead and apply to WashU and Emory. I dont know why you want to transfer from Brandeis, it seems like you havent been there long enough to see if you like it (i know i will get bashed for this, but brandeis is a private school people! its not ucla! i.e. smaller class sizes) </p>
<p>Why do you want to transfer to emory if you love brown? hmm....</p>
<p>sorry- i figured more people would see it in the transfer forum rather than the individual schools' forums</p>
<p>wait, i thought wash u didnt accept freshmen spring transfers. thats what they told me when i called and asked...</p>
<p>"If you are in your first year of college, you must present at least one completed semester of full-time college work with your application for Transfer admission or submit a completed Mid-Semester Progress Report." from the site</p>
<p>I've spoken to my transfer admissions rep on the phone/e-mail and she was perfectly aware that I am a current freshman who had been waitlisted for the fall so I'd say it's fine...</p>
<p>ahhhhhh! i did read that on the website, but when i called they told me to apply for the fall since i was a freshmen! but i was waitlisted too, so i'll call again i guess</p>
<p>“i know i will get bashed for this, but brandeis is a private school people! its not ucla! i.e. smaller class sizes”</p>
<p>I’m not entirely sure what your point was there- all of the schools I’m looking at are private with small class sizes…</p>
<p>duh, thats my point. You are in a private school, you have no reason to transfer.</p>
<p>i’d say not having any courses in one of my main interests is a decent reason to consider a transfer</p>
