Transferring graduate programs

Graduate School
1

<p>I am a grad student in the early phase of my career at a good school (biomedical sciences). Unfortunately my program imploded, as most of the faculty decided to leave. There are many more grad students than positions for them. Hence I am looking to transfer schools.</p>

<p>How difficult is it to transfer schools? Is it at all possible to submit an app and be considered now for a start date this summer/fall? I figure most schools should know their status on the number of entering students within a few weeks. Do you think they would consider my app now if they have available positions. Anyone have thoughts on this?</p>

<p>thanks,</p>

<p>You may be better off waiting until Fall 2011 cycle to apply for a transfer and get funding. Your circumstances sound like you do have a legit reason for switching programs, especially for the PhD. Make sure you get support from your faculty members for the applications.</p>

<p>Really, none of the faculty members are planning to take a grad student or two with them/</p>
