waitlist/transfer question

<p>i've been waitlisted at stern and i'm hoping to transfer my sophomore year if i don't get in. i think i've read somewhere on this board that stern doesn't like bringing in new people after freshman admissions; is this true??? if it is, does that decrease my chances at getting in from the waitlist than say, someone who's been waitlisted to CAS?</p>

<p>also for transferring next fall, does anyone know how much they really look at grades from senior year at hs? or do they mostly look at the grades from college frosh year? same question about transferring this spring, if that's a possibility for freshman?</p>
