Transfer Students

<p>Anyone know of some good colleges that don’t require supplemental essays? So far, I know Dartmouth and Vanderbilt do not. I figure that I have nothing to lose by applying to these schools and want to apply to as many as I can.</p>

<p>Bump.</p>

<p>There have to be some other good schools that don’t require separate essays. Anyone know of a few?</p>

<p>I’m going to assume that you meant to say the opposite of what this quote says.</p>

<p>If applying to school requires nothing but a $50-60 application fee, as opposed to the essays and fee required by other schools, why wouldn’t I apply? How is not having to do any extra work not a good reason to apply?</p>

<p>^Both of you have good points. Transferring to a school because they don’t have a supplemental essay is a not a good reason for transferring BUT, of course, being at a prestigious institution is invaluable. There’s no problem with what you’re trying to do but most transfer students focus on select schools for reasons not including a required supplemental essay or not.</p>

<p>^Point taken.</p>

<p>My situation is a bit different from that of the average transfer student because my main priority is simply to get out of my current school. Any top-25 school will work for me (some better than others, of course).</p>
