<p>Is it easier to get into a school as a transfer student? Also, is there any other important info I should know about when it comes to transferring?
Thanks!</p>
<p>At most schools it is more difficult to get into as a transfer, except for those which have transfer agreements from various community colleges.</p>
<p>that is actually very incorrect information, most colleges are easier to get into as a transfer than freshmen student. you can get into top schools such as USC with a +3.0 college gpa for example.</p>
<p>^
I think USC has an articulation agreement like Erin’s Dad was talking about.</p>
<p>Some schools are easier to get in as a transfer than as a freshman. For instance the University of Oklahoma just requires a 2.5 college GPA for transfers but the vast majority of enrolled freshmen had a >3.0 and a 23 ACT or higher. It depends on the school.</p>
<p>Would it be easier or more difficult to get in to a more selective school such as Wesleyan, Vassar, or Oberlin as a transfer student?</p>
<p>Google the name of each of those colleges along with Common Data Set. The CDS gives you data for admission rates for both fr and transfers.</p>
<p>I suggest you go to the Resources and Transfer 101 sticky threads at the top of this forum for basic information about the transfer process.</p>
<p>It really all depends on the school. Some schools are more transfer friendly than others.</p>
<p>thecrazycimpz- oberlin, vassar, and wesleyan accept very very few transfer students. i wouldn’t even bother applying if your serious about going to a different school.</p>
<p>^Wesleyan:</p>

<p>This is why it’s usually best to direct members to the data and let them make a determination on their own.</p>
