honestly, it depends on you. It depends on grades mainly. For example, if you want to transfer after your freshman year (as in you’re entering fall of your sophomore year), it is harder because many schools will take into account your academic performance in high school. That may or may not be good depending on how you did in high school and how you did in college. If you transfer in after sophomore year, most colleges don’t really care too much how you did in high school. Many will not ask for SATs. There are a few exceptions to this. Most people will say after your sophomore year.

Against many people’s advice I transferred after my freshman year. I think that was best as far as getting into the school and forming meaningful relationships. Also, I hated the school I was attending. I was not really the best high school student, but I had a lot of extracurricular activities, and I did okay in college. So, I picked schools that did not have a lot of people looking transfer to the school, and I did apply to “lesser” schools (i.e. Loyola Maryland, Holy Cross, Trinity, Barnard, and Lehigh)
