<p>Alright here's an outright hard question to type into the search bar:
after being unable to serach through 8 pages of results and reading 19 pages of the transfer thread and gave up looking....
FOr a transfer DOES it matter WHERE you transfer from?
aside from the obvious going from an IVY -> ivy perks or from LA schools to UCLA/UCBerk
if I were to transfer from Michigan / penn state / pitts / u of toronto / mcgill / ubc / NW
INTO something like an ivy league, does admission REALLY care that much where i come from?
does being in like U of T give me a better chance to transfer than say at Pittsburgh university because U of Toronto has a bigger name than U PIts?
This is assuming that I am 100% transferring the second year. When selecting a school to transfer from, what should i be looking at?
(i believe this is a valid question) (admission boards say they don't bias but i'm sure thats a lie)</p>
<p>The school you’re transferring from is taken into consideration. In almost all cases, university transfers are favored over community college transfers and high-ranked universities are favored over low-ranked universities. However, if a student has a 3.9 at Arizona State (just an example) vs someone with a 3.1 at Rice, the ASU student would probably get the nod unless his HS record/test scores were dramatically lower, even though Rice is the 17th-ranked school and ASU is 143rd.</p>
<p>My advice? Go to the best school you can get into right now. It will increase your chance of admission when you apply to transfer.</p>
<p>For the schools that you’ve listed, I’d say the college matters much less than what you do there.</p>
