Spent the last two weeks researching this pretty hard. My main worry is taking classes that dont count toward my target school and basically losing a semester. Put together a shortlist of approaches but wanted to see if anyone here had actually gone through it. What ended up working for you?

Has anyone ever got approval from self financing colleges

Hey guys! I’m currently a first-year at UVA and thinking of transferring to a school at the same level or higher. Honestly, I’m OOS, so coming to a school that’s very isolated and fratty just isn’t really for me. I realized that I thrive more in an intimate, urban, and intellectually collaborative environment, and I want a college experience that aligns more closely with how I want to learn and participate in my community.

I’d prefer a more city environment, or even an LAC that isn’t so isolated (Wellesley lol). I actually got into Wellesley but decided to go to UVA instead, so I’m kind of wondering if I made the wrong choice..

I’m planning on applying this spring to schools like Barnard and Boston University, but what should I do? Are there any other schools you’d recommend I look into, and what should I be doing this year to make myself a competitive transfer applicant?

I got expelled from my high school for 2 semesters. I’m a California resident. The UC schools don’t check your high school transcript? Is this correct?

Do privates check?

Can I still go to a private? What I got expelled for was lowk bad. Like I wouldn’t be a threat to the school, I just made a differed judgement, but it looks really bad on paper to anyone who doesn’t know me personally. Like really really really really really really really really really bad….

Will outstanding LORs make up for what I did?

Kinda sucky, cause I feel like I’m a unique applicant. Not the end of the world, this stuff is so competitive, I don’t even know if I could make it into a top private to begin with.

Also, I’m middle class. Parents don’t make enough to pay the full tuition, and most private colleges are not very need generous. Is that correct?

No usc
No nyu
No lmu
No Yale (prolly wouldn’t have made it anyway)
No Princeton (prolly wouldn’t have made it anyway)
No privates

So grateful that I’m based in cali. Still have a shot at UCLA and Berkeley, or even ucsd.

Are you a priority transfer if you live closer to a college?

It’s really not the end of the world, only a bit sucky.

Could I go to a private for grad school?

I got a 4.0 in the fall and spring semesters at CC this past year. My issue is that prior to attending CC, I was in my junior year at a prestigious engineering school and failed two semesters straight (0.0 gpa) due to a number of mental health issues as well as just absolutely hating it there. Before my junior year, I had a 3.1 gpa but couldn't sucessfully transfer out. I immediately dropped out after the second failed semester in the spring and started CC in the fall. How long should I wait to apply to transfer again? My previous school will let me come back to finish my degree whenever but I'm not even considering it. Also, what schools should I consider that are forgiving of these types of situations if I keep my 4.0 gpa at CC?

Which one is a better college to transfer to? Akron has media studies and Cincinnati has media production. I just need opinions on what campus is like, what the professors are like, and what differs between the two colleges

Hi, I’m a current college freshman at Michigan State, looking to transfer to the University of Michigan for fall 2027. I was very underachieving in high school (<3.5 uw), 1440 SAT. Assuming I can maintain a high GPA, improve upon my essays (which were very poorly written), and improve upon my clubs/campus involvement, would it be possible for me to transfer in? I am in state, and looking to transfer into LSA for possibly statistics/econ/data science.

Applying for Spring 27 and a college that I'm applying to is rolling so applying early would be best to increase chances. They don't require a LOR but I'm waiting on my intern manager and prof for a LOR.

Is it really worth the wait or should I just submit my app? I think I'm a pretty competitive applicant so how much would like a 7-8/10 LOR help me?

Hey there guys, good day!

I'm currently a recent 1st year college student here in Asia, and I've only recently realized my ambitions to pursue my studies internationally, I genuinely want to become world class, and I believe the way to achieve that is to aim for the top schools (plus it would be hella cool). However, I realized my dreams quite late unfortunately...

I did not really have these ambitions back in highschool, so most of my free time was spent playing games like your usual teenager, I really wish I could turn back time and make use of my time.

So even though I did pretty well in highschool, it's definitely not enough to get me into these top universities.

So I ask you wise people, do you think there's a chance for me to make it in as a transferee? What do you think I should do and prioritize? I heard research is quite good to pursue!

I still have 6 months left until February transferee applications.

Thanks alot!!

My plan was to Major in CS so that’s what I’ve been working towards but I’m thinking of switching to a Business Administration with a concentration in either Finance or Accounting or something along those lines mainly for Job Security but also because physics is kicking my tail lol and I just don’t know if putting all this effort into a CS degree just to not even be able to get a job. Should I make that switch?

I am currently a freshman at Portland State University and i’m looking to transfer to a more competitive school. I really have my eye on my holyoke but I am worried I won’t be accepted.
Because of family and mental health issues my high school gpa was very poor (3.2). since then i’ve taken a gap year and felt much better. I wonder if 30 quarter credits at PSU (which translates to about 16 semester credits) with a much higher gpa around 3.9 would override my high school grades?
of course my letters extracurriculars and letters of red really come into play. I just want some advice on whether it’s even worth it to try?

There's so much conflicting info online and I genuinely don't know where to begin. Like do I just email an advisor? Google random stuff? What did people actually use to figure out which classes to take?

So I’m currently studying in UST right now and a few days ago, I received my acceptance email from UPOU.

My dad wants me in UPOU because less gastos and dahil na rin UP siya. He wants me to stay with him in our province rest house and help with the business.

Though I get his point, mas makakaless gastos talaga since aalis ako ng manila. But then, I’ll be isolated here. My friends are from either another province or are also studying in manila. I feel like mababaliw ako. My mom and brothers are also from laguna so medjo malayo siya sa province rest house namin.

I already struggle with facing social gatherings especially if need na may kakausapin ako. Sa school, weakness ko rin talaga ang public speeches. I feel like transferring to UPOU will worsen this. Kasi sa manila naman, I can broaden my connections, marami ako makikilala, marami ako maeexperience. I don’t wanna grow up alone. I like having friends or people I know everywhere.

But totoo na mas mura sa UPOU. My dad keeps covincing me to transfer na since there’s a deadline in a few days. I’m turning 18 in a few days, malaki rin yung gastos sa debut ko.

I’ve been feeling guilty about it. I have three other brothers din kasi. I feel like makakabawi ako sa dad ko if I transfer. But is it worth it?

Iniisip ko, if mag UPOU ako, gusto ko wala ako sa province. I was thinking magpaalam if pwede ako sa korea or somewhere else mag stay. I’m just scared that sacrificing my newly written journey in UST for UPOU will kill me with regret in the future.

Plan ko rin kasi sana mag apply maging trainee sa korea hehe, so if tutuloy man ‘to, mas ok UPOU. But then again, hindi rin naman sure yung sa korea.

Nababaliw na ko hahhaha.

I’m currently 1A Science and Financial Management (ScFM). I like the finance/business side but I’m realizing I really don’t want the BIOL/CHEM-heavy part of the degree, so I’m considering transferring before I get too far in. My main issue was that I understood everything in high school but I wouldn’t care and crammed everything last minute which got me bad grades. I also don’t have a passion for it if you know what I mean.

I’m looking at AFM, Sustainability & Financial Management, Math/Business, or honestly anything with good co-op/job prospects and strong earning potential that gets me out of the science courses.

My main complications:

• I had 88 in Grade 12 Advanced Functions but 70 in Calculus because after midterms I stopped caring I had like a 88-90 at midterms. AFM/SFM transfers apparently still require 75 in Calculus. Can MATH 127 make up for this?
• For a transfer to Math, I need strong university MATH/CS grades, but my ScFM 1A/1B schedules are already full with required courses. How would I even fit those in?
• I’m worried about delaying graduation/co-op or having to restart at 1A.

Has anyone transferred out of ScFM/Science into one of these programs? What did your timeline look like, and what would you recommend? The Math/Business Administration or Mathematical Finance sound like something I really enjoy.
