transferring twice?!

<p>i'm just wondering if transferring twice...that is...after your freshman year and then applying elsewhere after your sophomore year would be viewed negatively as a junior transfer applicant. personally....i'll be transferring to nyu stern this fall as a sophomore but i'm worried that i might not fit in with the city/no campus deal...so im just keeping the options open while giving nyu a shot. just in case i try to transfer this coming spring...this time as a jr. transfer...would the fact that i already transferred once influence in any way the decision?</p>

<p>i may be in a similar situation if i don't get off rice's waitlist. i have to switch schools bc i'm changing majors, but i plan to reapply to rice for the spring....i don't think it could hurt you too much, though...nspeds applied for transferring again this yr and is pretty much rocking everything</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I applied twice as a transfer, though I will probably not be doing the second transfer. The first time I transferred from a small college in Houston to Georgetown, and then from Georgetown I applied to UChicago, Rice, and Brown. I was admitted at the former two and rejected at the latter.</p>

<p>Transferring twice does not hurt as long as you are moving up.</p>

<p>Well you probably could have gotten in at UChicago and Rice the first time you transferred, no?</p>

<p>i'm not having much luck. i transferred from a cc to my state university last year. i applied to more competitive schools this year and i'm getting rejections like no other.</p>

<p>I went to the university of wisconsin for my first semester of college. For a bunch of reasons i left and went to a smaller public university in my home state of IL (Eastern IL Univ). In my case, it was probably actually better to have had the UW-Madison listed on my application. It can work in your favor. I'll be transferring my second time this fall to the university of illinois. I really don't think it hurts or helps your app a whole lot, keeping your grades up should be something you worry about more often than this.</p>
