<p>Would it be difficult to try and transfer to Hopkins from Stony Brook? I'm currently a freshman and would like to transfer to Hopkins ASAP. However I heard that schools don't really like to let freshman transfer in as sophomores because they don't have enough college courses on their transcript. Would it be better if I try to transfer in as a junior? Thanks guys.</p>
<p>It's really tough to transfer into Hopkins. There are a few threads on it here. I believe the admittance rate is something like 8% for transfers. So yes, it would be difficult, but it's possible.</p>

<p>...and there are many more if you search.</p>
<p>Many people transfer to a variety of schools, including selective ones like Hopkins, for their sophomore year.</p>
<p>It is true that you will only have completed one term of college by the time you submit your apps. Some schools will want mid-term grade reports for your spring term. Most will also consider your hs record since you have only a few college credits.</p>
<p>But it is done.</p>
