Comments on: Is it possible to transfer to a top university from a not so good university? http://www.universityadmission.us/top-university/is-it-possible-to-transfer-to-a-top-university-from-a-not-so-good-university University Admission Guide & Help Sat, 06 Aug 2011 11:24:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Lili http://www.universityadmission.us/top-university/is-it-possible-to-transfer-to-a-top-university-from-a-not-so-good-university/comment-page-1#comment-6820 Lili Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:27:59 +0000 http://www.universityadmission.us/top-university/is-it-possible-to-transfer-to-a-top-university-from-a-not-so-good-university#comment-6820 Of course it's possible. The Ivies are taking almost no transfers these days (some take none), but other top schools certainly accept them. You will need to have performed extremely well at your first school, and you'll need excellent recommendations. Special or unique activities or projects will help, too, along with a strong reason why you want to transfer into a given school. That means doing research on a given program, facilities, and professors.<br><b>References : </b><br> Of course it’s possible.

I transferred from a small university in Indiana (Vincennes Unviersity) to UCLA. My advice: You have to have a good GPA (4.0 or darn close) and excellent letters of recommendation (e.g. well respected leaders of some organization you are part of including your school). You will also stand a better chance of being accepted if you transfer into a program that is less competitive but go for your Gold and do what you want to do! Goo luck to you and hope that you get into the school of your dreams and study what you want to.<br><b>References : </b><br>Living proof. Yes it is!!

An Ivy maybe out of reach but UNC Chapel Hill, Vanderbilt, UW-Madison, Ohio State, and the UCs have very high acceptance rates for transfers. The UCs may be tough for out of state but the other colleges pretty much take transfers from about everywhere. If you have the grades and extra curriculars in college then it is very possible to get into a top university as a transfer, the lower level Ivies like Cornell and UPenn may be possible as well.<br><b>References : </b><br> I disagree with deadpool, I think it is very possible.
