In general, planning on getting into a school by transferring isn’t the way to go unless you’re considering a community college as an academic transition to a four-year degree.
Also, you really don’t want to miss out on the freshman traditions and bonding experience at Yale…I couldn’t imagine walking in my sophomore year without having spent a year in Old Campus with all the freshmen, experienced the Freshman Screw Dance, or gotten acquainted with my college.
Oh, and there’s the fact that I’ve never met a transfer student…the biggest reason they don’t accept as many is that none of us want to leave!
