<p>I am aware that the admissions rate for transfer students is extremley low at Yale (around 2% I've heard). But if someone were to apply as a transfer student from a prestigous university such as Georgetown or Middlebury with a high GPA and recommendations from proffesors (not TA's) with great extra carriculars, and an amazing essay, would they have a good chance of getting in?</p>
<p>I'm just trying to get some prespective on what makes a good transfer applicant!</p>
<p>As a HS jr, you’ll have lots of time to read and digest this thread (and others, do a Search on this forum and the Transfer Students forum) before it’s time to actually consider transferring:</p>
