<p>Just out of curiousity...In general (and for most schools), are the accepted transfers incoming sophomores or juniors? Are incoming juniors favored more? Are the numbers about equal? I was rejected from the schools I applied to as a sophomore transfer and I'm debating whether or not I should try again next year. Thanks.</p>
<p>I think at most schools Juniors have more weight b/c they have more college hours. Yeah, if I were you I'd go ahead and apply again as a junior. It can't hurt.</p>
<p>it's kinda different....they look at different things for soph and jun transfers....for example...if you transfer after your 1st year they weigh in your highschool grades and SATs more...they'll look alot at what types of classes you've taken at your current school...whether you've taken 200 or 300 level classes (these'll help).....jun transfers are based mostly on your college career. They'll barely weigh in your highschool/SATs...overall...the ratio of acceptances is higher for jun transfers.</p>
<p>personally, i would not transfer after the first year. if you really hated the school, why would it take it two school years or more to decide to transfer? also, you really need to have the time to build a foundation at the school to which you decide to transfer (e.g., get to know professors, ECs, recommendations for grad school). And i you decide to transfer after your sophomore year, you might not actually graduate in four years, depending on the transferrability of your credits.</p>
